Mine is 440g, which lighter than my Nokton 35. The 135 LTM I refer to is the black, later version and I always felt it to be a lightweight, slimline 135. I guess that the one you refer to is the earlier one and I suppose it is quite a bit heavier. I've carried the 35 Nokton, the 50 'cron and the 135 LTM all day a few times without any weight problems. - - - - - - Peter, No, it's the same one. Mine is the late model black version. But 440 grams is just about a pound. When added to the weight of a solid M camera, it makes a handful. I was comparing it to the weight of my Olympus Zukio f3.5 135mm lens which tips the scale at 290g. I guess it is all in the frame of reference. Too bad Olympus doesn't make a full frame digital the size of the OM cameras. Larry Z
