i bought myself a digital kitchen scale...and off course i just had to measure weight of all my lenses Laughing
as you can see from my lens list and with 100% probability you can "guess" the lightest lens i own...Industar 50-2 weighting in at 65g

and the winner for the heaviest lens i own is...no, not tair 3s...it's Maginon 100-500mm with 1506g...12g more than tair 3s
third place goes to Jupiter 21m 200mm/4 - 954g
fourth place - Helios 40-2 -884g
and rounding up the top five is Soligor 200mm/2.8 - 781g

What about placing my Astro 1000mm or Zeiss 1000mm on your kitchen scale...? Might be pretty impressed Mr. Green Mr. Green Mr. Green Mr. Green

I went to bed one night last week and and noticed something in my trouser pocket as I got undressed. It was my Industar that had been there all day without me noticing.
You've got to love a lens this small and this good. Cool

How about 100Kg Canon 14/5200, also here? It would be fun to weigh on the tiny scale! Laughing

About the time I seriously started accumulating lenses, I got an electronic scale with 10g resolution, ostensibly to weigh stuff to sell on eBay but mostly employed to quantize every damn lens and camera. My lenses weigh-in over a wide range.

10g.... Edun Pinhole-in-a-Body-Cap
30g.... Loreo 35mm Shift Lens
60g.... Industar-50/3.5
70g.... Raynox DCR-250; various 75mm enlarger lenses
100g.. Meyer Helioplan 40/4.5; 90mm enlarger; some M42 2x TC's
110g.. CZJ Tessar 50/2.8 (Exakta mount)
...
810g.. Schneider Betavaron 50-125mm enlarger zoom
880g.. Vivitar Series 1 Version 1 70-210/3.5
910g.. Gundlach Turner-Reich Anast. 12 in. f/7 (w/ Betax #4 shutter)
950g.. Jupiter-21M 200/4
1270g Sigma APO DGL 170-500 "Lil'Bigma"
1760g Rubinar MC Makpo 1000/10 mirror

That Edun is actually closer to 5g, so there's a 352x weight range. Hoppin' hernias, Batman, this stuff is HEAVY!
