- Thom's Short Comment: Wow. Significantly lighter than the F-mount version and very handholdable. Yet the optics seem to have gone up a slight notch compared the already great F-mount version. My biggest quibble is that the user controls are spread out all over the lens, not where your hand position is likely to be.
