Daniel,

No guarantee, of course, but a little birdie in Germany mailed
these numbers to me this AM.

"Length ca. 66,8mm
  diameter ca. 58mm
  weight ca. 445g
  near-distance: 0,7m
  Filter E49
  fixable lenshood "

Can't say or show more at present without breaking a confidence.

Regards,

William
