It's tiny and light & very close focusing with very impressive results as modest slow glass is prone to give as its not trying to please the marketing department its just trying to be a nice lens design to take pictures with. http://www.bjp-online.com/public/showPage.html?page=855855 Slow glass gives you more line pairs per Euro; Is one reason why I love them. They try harder. They are an little understood underdog. I'm fond of small outer glass areas. The savings in lens tissue alone is worth it. Mark William Rabiner
