Damn, that Leica is positively jewel-like by comparison... I hope someone makes a large sensor AF mirror-less soon, with small primes. Zooms, it seems, quickly cancel out the size advantages as ratios muliply. Sony's and Micro4/3's mirror-less zoom lenses are either slow or largish relative to their sensors, scaled to 35mm frames they might not offer too much size advantage over SLR designs? I can only think of Contax's 35-70, and that was a slow variable aperture design. However, rangefinders clearly retain a size advantage with wide and normal primes.
