You also have to consider the weight of the body when calculating weight reduction percentages. An M6TTL clocks in at 600 grams. Therefore: body + Asph 910 gm body + pre-Asph (early) 845 gm 92% of body + Asph body + pre- Asph (late) 795 gm 87% of body + Asph Though risking accusations of single-mindedness and repetition, I have to say again that you just need to lose the Asph shade to get a small compact lens.
