From a post of mine a long time ago, referencing one of the primary reasons I switched to RF. I got tired of carrying around bulky equipment. The SLR has it's place and I still use it quite a bit, but it's no longer my "default" camera, or secondary camera for that matter. Here's the post with pic's.

Of course, whether there's a significant difference depends on your choice of RF and SLR

It is definately lens envy. White wishes he was only 1.5 in long

One of the approaches that helped me work better with lighting is look at it from the prospective of what you are not lighting. Think shadows!!
The key is the shadows and where your midtones are. Flash is fun, but it's easier to learn with lights.
Fun shot, thanks for sharing.

It can also be the other way around:

I was shooting on the street yesterday with an old Pentax around my neck (KX and 35 F/2) and rangefinder on my wrist (Bessa L and 15 F/4.5).
I'd have probably taken a second 35mm RF if I'd had one, but bulk sure wasn't a problem.
I was noticing just how quickly I could focus on any part of the scene with the old SLR. I didn't feel ill equipped at all.

DSLR, RF and P&S (all with 35mm lens).
It looked to me like the shorter lens had seen more action than the other.
Which could be more important.

Thank you, Thank you!!!
I was thinking to show the same comparison until it donned on me, I don't have a Leica M

Pentax MX w/40mm pancake vs. Konica Auto S2
On a balance-type scale!

My Nikon FE2 is lighter and smaller

I hate to say it but my FE2 with 45mm pancake or 50mm 1.8 is lighter and even little smaller than my R3A. I love my RF and appreciate all it's inherent advantages but the smaller, lighter thing is a absolute myth! Unfortunatly, the Nikon has also proven to be much more robust and better on batteries... plus it has TTL flash, self timer... ah, the little things! I wish my R3A could just work properly for once and then I'd be happy.

My take on this:
Two cameras with comparable lenses. Leica with 90mm f/2 Summicron. Pentax dSLR with 77mm (115mm equivalent crop) f/1.8.

It's not the size. It's how you use it!
