Hardly a surprise, at least for me... The "lightweight" thing was just a strategy to lure customers into the brand... to me it was clear since when a lot of FF lenses came around, with almost no news for APS-C.
Fortunately with my latest approach to equipment I decided to have the smallest equipment set possible, and I'm fine with the things I have, a long tele being the only exception, but it was clarified that a specific APS-C design for a long tele would make a negligible size benefit.
