Interesting comparison ...

Well, that is debatable.

A valid point can be: Modern lenses are heavier than older lenses. We already saw that with for instance the Nikkor AF-S 135mm f1.8 E, the Canon EF 35mm f1.4 L USM II, the Zeiss Otus range and most of the Sigma Art range.

Another valid point could be: The shorter flange distance (due to "mirrorless") still allows for smaller/lighter optics. The Canon RF 50mm f1.4 L USM is about the same size/weight as the Pentax/Tokina HD FA 50mm f1.4 SDM AW and smaller/lighter than the Zeiss OTUS 55mm f1.4, while all 3 have the same amount of lens elements, and the Canon is half a stop faster.

You mean the Canon 50mm f1.2 Wink

Yeah, that Nikon already has two mirrorless bodies is at times confusing to me  Tongue It's so much easier with only one body...
