[QUOTE="AC016, post: 416488, member: 9619"] What Marcel said has been discussed many times on Fuji forums. When it comes to comparing Fuji lenses to any lens made for a FF Nikon or Canon, the clear winner in regards to "light weight" are the Fuji lenses (comparing Fuji lenses to the equivalent 35mm, FF lenses from Nikon or Canon). Any combination of Fuji camera & lens is going to be lighter then a FF equivalent (lens wise). Yes, now that companies are coming out with larger focal lengths with smaller max apertures, the lenses are getting bigger. Though, it's a given. Below, you can see how Fuji compares to FF: [COLOR=#282828][FONT=helvetica]Fuji [URL="http://stat.dealtime.com/DealFrame/DealFrame.cmp?bm=770&BEFID=7185&acode=797&code=797&aon=&crawler_id=492789&dealId=fEIHprD2LlS0ohAJDymyaw%3D%3D&searchID=&url=http%3A%2F%2Fbestbuy.rdr.channelintelligence.com%2Fgo.asp%3FfVhzOC8fBggESSNmXlFbQhRrWHFwLx8GTAcGb2BWH1sPXTZLNzRpAh1HR0BxMAoQHxFUJxFHUElsNzpZVx9WTTU7CQoHHgwmCTd1fkBbQkJWLT4KEBheQj9SJjYyAEVZRVhyY1dOXkZMMxJIWkowaTFBU1NbGmtjXVNaRhRwVHwtNxADAgEPb2tZUFpLGWoHZTc4WHtUDQNuYF9SXkYHPVJUAnYOHHVfV1YNCmp0AwwITnIWdGU3IU5RX1RcYjEGCjRHFGsMe3diHxRTQV48PQsGVk9CMlZHVE0na20%3D%26nAID%3D45538312&DealName=Fujifilm%20-%20X-T1%20Mirrorless%20Camera%20with%2018-55mm%20Lens%20-%20Black&MerchantID=492789&HasLink=yes&category=0&AR=-1&NG=1&GR=1&ND=1&PN=1&RR=-1&ST=&MN=msnFeed&FPT=SDCF&NDS=1&NMS=1&NDP=1&MRS=&PD=175068289&brnId=2455&lnkId=8070676&Issdt=150213050343&IsFtr=0&IsSmart=0&dlprc=1599.99&SKU=4120155"]X-T1[/URL] = 450g[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#282828][FONT=helvetica]Canon EOS 6D = 760g[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#282828][FONT=helvetica] [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#282828][FONT=helvetica]Fuji 16-55mm f/2.8 = 655g[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#282828][FONT=helvetica]Canon 24-70mm f/2.8 = 804g[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#282828][FONT=helvetica] [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#282828][FONT=helvetica]Fuji 50-140mm f/2.8 = 970g[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#282828][FONT=helvetica][URL="http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=canon&_from=R40%7CR40%7CR40%7CR40%7CR40%7CR40%7CR40&_osacat=3270&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l2632.R2.TR12.TRC2.A0.H0&_nkw=canon&_sacat=31388"]Canon[/URL] 70-200mm f/2.8 = 1485g[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#282828][FONT=helvetica] [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#282828][FONT=helvetica]Fuji 56mm f/1.2 = 400g[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#282828][FONT=helvetica]Canon 85mm f/1.2 = 970g[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#282828][FONT=helvetica] [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#282828][FONT=helvetica]Fuji 35mm f/1.4 = 180g[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#282828][FONT=helvetica][URL="http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=canon&_from=R40%7CR40%7CR40%7CR40%7CR40%7CR40%7CR40&_osacat=3270&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l2632.R2.TR12.TRC2.A0.H0&_nkw=canon&_sacat=31388"]Canon[/URL] 50mm f/1.4 = 268g[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#282828][FONT=helvetica] [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#282828][FONT=helvetica]Fuji 23mm f/1.4 = 296g[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#282828][FONT=helvetica]Canon 35mm f/1.4 = 580g[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#282828][FONT=helvetica] [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#282828][FONT=helvetica]Fuji 10-24mm f/4 = 404g[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#282828][FONT=helvetica]Canon 16-35mm f/4 = 615g If i want to compare some APS-C equipment, here we go: Fuji 35mm f/1.4 = 187g Nikon 35mm f/1.8 G = 200g Fuji X-Pro1 = 451g Nikon D7100 = 675g I have owned both the Nikon lens and Nikon camera i just mentioned.
