Both the Leica APO Summicron M 90/2.0 ASPH and the forthcoming Zeiss Sonnar
85/2.0 ZM take 55mm filters.  The Zeiss Distagon 15/2.8 ZM takes 72mm
filters.

The Distagon is the fatter but shorter lens, and also lighter (370g) than
the Sonnar (450g)  The APO Summicron M 90/2.0 ASPH is heavier still at 500g.

The Sonnar is the longer lens though at 83mm, whereas the APO Summicron is
slightly shorter at 78mm.
