Figure 20g for the hood... 300g or so for the lens alone... This data is measured, not read from some marketing written word...... Now a perspective....... A roll of 36 exp TMAX 100 film weighs 22g Relatively speaking, the weights are as follows..... Summicron 35/2 pre ASPH.... 180g, the reference weight Summicron 35/2 ASPH........ plus 3 rolls of film Summilux 35/1.4 ASPH....... plus 6 rolls of film I don't think that the difference in weight is really significant, when shown in terms of additional film carried..... then again, I rarely carry film all day around my neck.....!!
