julianf73 Posted February 17, 2023 Share #1 Posted February 17, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) Since the 35mm Summilux ASPH FLE (11675) is larger than the Summicron (11674), does it make sense that it's also lighter? Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 ASPH: Dimensions 2.2" x 1.8" / 56 x 46 mm Weight 11.3 oz / 320 g Summicron-M 35mm f/2 ASPH: Dimensions 2.1" x 1.4" / 53 x 35.7 mm Weight 12 oz / 340 g Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 Hi julianf73, Take a look here 35mm: why is 'lux lighter than 'cron?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!

lct Posted February 17, 2023 Share #3 Posted February 17, 2023 The Summicron is lighter AFAIK. You may wish to check its technical data as i don't have them on hand sorry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdahab Posted February 17, 2023 Share #4 Posted February 17, 2023 It's not. The 35 summicron silver used to be brass, but is now aluminum. Plenty of places, like B&H, still list the old brass weight incorrectly. The aluminum version is more like 280g, same as the black. The lux weight you're looking at is already aluminum. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
