If you're going to compare lenses, it's only fair to compare lenses of similar speed. Even so, the 75 Summilux is very heavy, but size wise, it only looks big because of the size of other Leica M lenses. It's relatively skinny, and not that long for its capabilities. It certainly isn't a lens for "fun." It's a quite serious lens, and requires more of the photographer than most others.
