Never mind Brett. Would it help to say it's sunny here and I've the day off so I'm going for a bike ride? I've not yet seen a lycra M-422A so you win

The only couple of usable shots I got on a particularly beautiful day at Porthtowan, in the Bronson N-1, before my phone fell off the rock it was sat on and smashed the screen! Arse!

Is the goatskin on yours heavy Jan?

Hmm, I wasn't sure how to answer that question, so I decided to weight all my originals (by stepping on a digital scale while holding each one in turn): Gregory Sportswear 7823D, Werber 7823, and Edmund T. Church M-422A down in front - yes, I know, the Church is badly in need of some TLC from @Maverickson . It's on my to-do list.

All three of them weighed exactly 3.5 pounds. Granted, the Church has probably lost an ounce or so of weight to the moths and the rot, :oops: so it may have once been a tick heavier.

Thanks for clarifying. The Werber I owned (@entertainment can confirm) was substantially heavier in feel than just about anything I’ve ever handled in a similar model.

Interesting - well, it wouldn't be at all unprecedented for a manufacturer to use different weights of leather within the same contract. I guess the Werber 7823 was one such contract.
