The 40mm Voigtlander Heliar f/2.8, 4.66 oz (132 g) (M mount, but not including focusing) is my current lightest weight walk about lens. https://www.dpreview.com/products/voigtlander/lenses/voigtlander_40mm_2p8_heliar (I've become fond of the collapsibles after living with the 90mm Macro-Elmar f/4 for a year. The 40mm seems like a better mid-range than the 50mm Elmar-M collapsible that I also have. They do have optical compromises.)
