Great article about RAW workflow by motorsports photographer John Thawley, "Wrapping Your Head Around Workflow." Specifically about Apple Aperture but essentially the same for Adobe Lightroom or any other software you might senter your workflow around.

Leica R9 DMR with 35-70mm F/2.8 Leica Vario-Elmarit-R zoom lens
The Leica 35-70mm Vario-Elmarit-R ASPH f/2.8 is a 1,000 g lens, 145 mm long and 89 mm in diameter. The smaller 35-70mm Vario-Elmar-R ASPH f/4.0 is only 400 g, 84 mm long and 70 mm in diameter.
Interestingly enough, this huge lens feels nice and natural after a while. As comparison, the 80mm Summilux-R 80mm f/1.4 is 700 g, yet the size of the 35-70mm f/4.0.

Also see my Leica Lens Compendium which is a complete list of Leica lenses  since 1908.
