What is the precise weight of the X-E2 with the excellent kit lens mounted, please? Thank you.

I couldn't say. I have no way of weighing it. I can say, It's quite a bit heavier than it looks, but the handling weight is very comfortable. It feels sturdy, but not so heavy that your wrist will get tired after a few hours of shooting like it would with a DSLR. I would compare its weight to my Canon 5d mk2 with battery grip and both batteries, but no lens. Hope that helps.

The heaviest rig I have is a Canon 7D with a 70-200L 2.8 and it handles it well (with the lens collar of course). Don't think I would go any heavier, especially if it was a 500mm prime.

Manfrotto site suggests a maximum payload of 4KG (8.8lbs) for this kit. I've personally tried it with a nikon d800 + 70-200mm 2.8 lens. This kit works with most combination of dslr + zoom or prime except for supertele lenses.

I do not have my jeweler's scale with me. I used an electronic kitchen scale perhaps of +/- 0.05 oz error. The camera, lens cap and a 64 GB chip weigh aprox 1.4 Oz. The horizontal camera mount that comes with it, weighs aprox. 0.4 oz. For a total of 1.8 oz. My battery is dead, but I am sure this error is very small :)Enjoy.

I have a Fuji x20 in mine. I'm not positive with the x-e2. I did look at the picture of the xe2 with the 18-55 lens from amazon and I'm sure it would not fit with that lens. The pancake might work. The x20 does pretty much fill the bag. I think I'd go with a larger bag. Blackrapid.com, who make the rapid strap, make a really cool bag called the snapr. You pull the camera out and it stays attached to the strap so you can't drop your camera. They make 3 sizes.

My experience with the 12-60 has been on the E-510 body, where it is heavy, but I prefer having it to the standard kit lens.I do not have experience handling E-M10 (or E-M1), but I feel the feedback already provided by Craig Gunn and Lucas B are worth considering.

I cannot answer in exact pounds but it holds my cannon rebel w/ 200mm lens on it ... now I will say that I have to "aim" a little higher than the object I am shooting. I shoot a lot of the night sky. When I find the object I am shooting, I aim a but above it because upon tightening it, it always settles to a lower position in my view finder. I hope that this helps.

I've used it with a zoom lens that weighs about 4.5 pounds. I really like it.

I use the 2.8 and have never been concerned about the weight. I used this lens on my Canon 5D with the extender 1.4 for a two hour whale watch trip from a boat, hand held. I didn't find it a concern. I'm a 5' 11", 200 lb man and 70 years old. I'm saying go for the f/2.8, you won't regret it.

The lens weighs 3 pounds. It is heavy but I wouldn't trade it for the world

I've only had this lens for about 1 month and taken approximately 500 shots with it, so my expertise is limited. This is a very sharp lens, picture quality is excellent and its performance has been flawless. My only complaint, if you want to call it that, is its weight. It is a beefy lens, due to the f/2.8 speed over the entire range of focal lengths which is remarkable. I considered a Nikon lens, however I had a hard time justifying more than double the cost. I would highly recommend this lens to anyone desiring a medium range zoom lens. It, I think, will be my workhorse.

Yep, no issues there! It is very sturdy. I've been using it with a d3300 and some heavy lenses, and would trust it with quite a bit more weight.

Danny... I think (hope) that there's a misunderstanding. No one is questioning the fact that E-P1 units are shipping... the question is whether the *specific* kit containing the 17mm lens and optical viewfinder is shipping. Can you state that you have received an email from Olympus regarding the 17mm lens + viewfinder kit?

The monocular, with both lens caps on, weighs in at just under 13 ounces. It comes with a nice case, but it also has a belt clip attached. I really like mine and use it daily.

I own the adapter, I own old AI lenses and EXPECT the combination to work! I have yet to purchase the X E1. (so I cannot tell you for sure)

No way, I don't have the lens with me today, but it surely is closer to about 1 pound, packing material and box should still bring it under 3 lbs.

Not sure the full weight but I've easily put a 5d mk iii on it with a tamron 24-70 w a led light with no problem
