If we are talking about the latest version of the Elmarit, it weighs 410
grams vs 500 for the F2 AA. I traded the Elmarit in on the Summicron AA, and
don't notice much difference in size/weight. Some time ago, I sold a chrome
Summicron (the original with the removable head). That was a heavy, large
lens.
