It puzzles me why people use as the basis for size comparison of interchangeable lens systems a single lens mounted on a camera. Once you start to carry multiple lenses, the shorter register system will almost always lose, because the extra length has to be on every lens instead of once on the camera turret. We have seen that most lenses don\'t take advantage of the short register distances e.g. because of ray angle in wides.
I guess there is a specific preferences at work here. FMers overwhelmingly use lenses in the 28-85 range, and focus more on specific rendering characteristics. There are some SWA users as well, and they will have trouble finding compact wides for their A7/A7R cameras. There is some limited hope for a few lenses, but putting together a small, yet complete and flexible kit with consistent rendering (read: system, as opposed to several individual character-lenses) remains a challenge for now.
