Juan, I think that you are completely spot on. For me, at least, with just "half a century" of experience in this life on my shoulders
, weight is something that I always consider. Speaking about lenses, these are the ones I use, by focal lengths:
Sonnar T* 2.8/90 Contax G "eMerized" by Miyazaki San. 230gr.
MS Optical Sonnetar 50/1.1. 190gr.
Leica Summarit 40/2.4 from Minilux, "eMerized" by MS. 55gr.
MS Optical Perar 28/4. 45gr.
Hologon T* 8/16 Contax G "eMerized by Don Goldberg. 120gr.
As alternatives, but with less use:
MS Optical Apoqualia 50/3.5. Heliar optical scheme with 90gr.
MS Optical Perar 35/3.5. 55gr.
CV Heliar 15/4.5, 156gr.
Probably I will replace the Perar 28 with the new Perar 24, 40grs.
As digital body I am using a Ricoh GXR with the M module and as film body, I am using an MDa...

Well-known
A few weeks ago I made a post asking for recommendations on buying a Canon IVSB as a small travel camera, but considering the usability to size ratio I wound up with a Canon QL17 GIII instead.
Some of the other 70s fixed RFs are pretty nice also; light, near silent, usable etc. The Minolta 7sii and Yashica Electro CCN are great too.
I had been using an Olympus MJU I previously, which for some reason I genuinely hated.
