Re: Yes, but perhaps no. Your guess is as good as mine.

So I'm back to lugging the R and 24-105 around for casual photography. Dammit!

700g, no adapter, good range, great IS and AF.... in my opinion that's a great walk around option. The primes I'm using with my R5 are heavier.

Weather sealed too. But 1.36kg vs 0.68kg compared to an M6 + 18-50 F2.8. Which is ok for a walk around. Not so good for my ultralight backpacking trips up the hills though. 1.36kg is more than my tent and sleeping bag added together!

Anyway, I've caved in and bought a secondhand NEX 6 for £100 so I can scratch the 18-50 F2.8 itch. I'd rather trash an old NEX 6 in bad weather than my lovely M6 which I've acquired a lot of lenses for.
