But 130g is the effect of a eating a bar of chocolate! Unless you are trying
to float the camera under a child's party balloon what difference does 130g
make?

Yes the wide angle use does suffer under the M8 if you want a fast 28mm
equivalent  :-(

Lower weight = better....that is a criteria I have established....and the
dominant driver 

F1.4 is preferred... but..... a more WA lens is also preferred.... which
makes the choice between the 35 ASPH Summilux and 28 Summicron a tough
call...

Stats:  28 Summicron = 256g   35  ASPH Lux= 307g  ( per ken Rockwell, who
was the easiest to get this info from) 

My ideal lens?  28 Summilux.... as if I could afford it... at a weight of
250-300g... as if it were that weight...

Dreaming on......

Yes, I could use a higher ISO and some noise reduction SW, but I already
plan on doing that.....1 stop faster is better because it allows for 1
shutter speed faster....

Both the 35mm Summilux asph and 28mm Summicron are lenses which are hard to
beat....
