40 1.2 is a really nice size as it is short and chunky. Love using it on my M7.

I liked it too. Just found it often got left behind if I already had a 35 & a 50 in my bag. Trying to keep my kit slim, but you know....

Agree with Allen that the Nokton VM 50/1.2 is large but the size is not objectionable. However, if you believe that smallness is one of the defining characteristics of the best M-mount lenses, then the VM 50/1.2 is not for you. I didn’t plan it this way but over the last year or so I’ve gravitated towards these larger lenses: the Distagon ZM 35/1.4, APO-Lanthar 35/2 and 50/2, and APO-Summicron-M 75/2 (with 49mm filter threads) are about the same size while the VM 50/1.2 and the 7Artisans 28/1.4 take 52mm filters (the 28 is slightly longer and thinner than the 50). For me balance on the camera and haptics are more important than size.

I don't think I said smallness was a defining characteristic of the best M-mount lenses....
For me, compactness is a large part of having a M system. (pardon the pun) And I agree balance and haptics are important... Which is, in part, why I tend prefer smaller lenses. I found the 40/1.2 to be a nice size, it just didn't work into my kit as much as it should due to the focal length primarily

Definitely an excellent tactic! I often went that route, but I found the 50mm f/1.5 Nokton rendering to be.... Well, close. So I talked myself into paring down the kit while being able to maintain similar IQ. Not saying that I am convinced I did the right thing!
That being said, and I could be wrong, but I believe that's not your only M lens.....

Yes, I think I agree with you then. There's so many characteristics that make a lens 'great', so discounting one due to size would be foolish. The new VM APO's certainly look enticing, so far I've talked myself out of it due to size, but we'll see.
