since the Contax IIIa & III have the built-in meter, a
better comparison would be to an M2 or M3 w/MC or MR
meter attached.
According to my Zeiss Ikon literature:
Contax II = 20.5 oz. = 581.16 g
Contax III = 25 oz. = 708.74 g
Contax IIa = 18.33 oz. = 519.65 g
Contax IIIa = ?? (not listed)

Hi,
some compared weights (* = home measurements, say
+-5grams):
Zorki (must be close to leicaII) 418 g *
M2 (with fast loading kit) 576 g *
M6 non TTL 550 g *
CLE minolta 386 g *
BessaT 385 g
Bessa R2 425 g
Hexar 560 g
ContaxRF with built-in meter 750 g*
It comes out that the Contax RF is the winner :-)
The Sonnar 2/50 weighs 151 g, probably thanks to its
simple mechanism,
but
this is still more than e.g. the Zorki 1.5/50 @ 142g
(plus 12 g for the
M/L39 ring). Anyway Contax + 2/50 weighs more than M6
+ cron 2/50.
