i don't have a photo of it on hand, but the lenses closest to
it in dimensions are the 90 cron (AA or otherwise) and the noctilux.

the 75 lux is almost exactly the same length as 90 cron but quite a
bit fatter, and at its widest is slightly smaller in diameter than 
the noctilux but about 30% longer.

in terms of weight, the latest 75 lux and the noctilux 
weigh in a around 600 gms, the 90 crons at 400 (gen III) - 500 (AA) 
gms.  there are weight variations because of built-in hoods, and other
mount changes for the various versions.

all told, handling the 75 lux is pretty close in my opinion to the noctilux
in most ways.
