Yes I have it right here.
Mine is a 3.5. Later they were 2.8's and still small.

And its light and small both.

But every other macro lens I've ever seen has been bulky.
The 60 Nikkor for example is a real unpleasant monster.
The Zeiss 120 macro on the Hasselblad very heavy compared to the 150 and
100.
