Minolta MD-III 100/2.5 is very small as well. And very good performer on top of that!

Look at another nikon- the Series E 100mm f2.8.
Light-weight, and ,mostly excellent optics. It isn't much bigger than a 50mm f2.
Down side is all the plastic/carbon fibre. If you can put up with that, a decent low-cost performer.

Lots of good ideas in the below thread..... Anything small that can get to an M mount via adapter qualifies. The Elmar just never clicked with me, even though the size is attractive.
Was also considering the Zeiss 85 ZM, but not sure its better than the Rokkor....
Schneider is interesting, DKL adaptation as you show is a two step process..... but looking at the forum lots of nice pics done with it.

I had Elmar 90/4 and Voigtlander apo lanthar 90/3,5
Voigt has better contrast, color. while elmar has better handling CA ( almost no CA). I keep the voiigt and sold elmar.
here's the comparison elmar vs apo
I also have Steinheil munchen 100/3,5, sharp also compact but hard to find.

Mine is actually 3 adapters stacked but you can purchase light inexpensive DKL to e mount. Not AF though. I like the LM techart because you can stack so many of the old manual focus mounts.

as for conventional lenses, say since post-war, the tele-elmarit-m is the lightest at 225 g, and among the shortest.

I second that - this might be among the lightest lenses in that focal range. And a lot of fun because of its square bokeh (at least the zebra version: https://deltalenses.com/product/meopta-belar-75-4-5-v3/)
 Usually that's how well I fit in... by simple.joy, auf Flickr
There's also these:
Enna Ennagon 80 mm f/4.5 (even lighter than the Belar with 38g)
 Con-artist by simple.joy, auf Flickr
Roeschlein Kreuznach Supronar 75 mm f/3.5 (not as sharp as the SK lenses mentioned by kathala, but a bit faster, nice rendering and only 44g)
 X marks the spot by simple.joy, auf Flickr
 Family matters by simple.joy, auf Flickr
and finally the
A. Schacht Ulm R Travegar 75 mm f/3.5 (quite a capable lens, and not too slow for an enlarger lens)

I have this lens and I like it very much. Pleasant bokeh and good sharpness already wide open, best between f4 and f5.6. Very low CA´s, which are getting a little more pronounced when the lens is stopped down beyond f5.6. I have the MC version. This image was taken with it on a Sony Alpha 7ii.

I believe it is the same optical formulation, but coatings may be different from what I have read. I have never looked into buying any M mount lenses myself so not sure which is cheaper, Leica's version or the Minolta.

I think you'll find the opposite. Anything branded Leica, even a mouldy sandwich, fetches double of any other brand.
The 4o/2 was indeed the same lens, designed by L and made by M; I'm not sure about the 9o. In any case, the above-mentioned 9o/4 Leica Elmar is much cheaper (and older, but IQ should be virtually identical: the Elmar was as good as it could be; the Rokkor was designed to be affordable.)
Btw. thanks for the enlarger input! If anyone knows others, I'd be very happy to include them in my little pancake lens project docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1UGbXkrE5GqlD6Hoq8bFN9FEOZf37k0LrK6tN2moOuno
