My first reaction to the size as reported by numbers was ..\"WHAT??!!?\"
Then i simmered down and realized that the measurements were all wrong. No way the mockup I saw was that big. Then I read the ENTIRE SENTENCE in the Zeiss data flyer, and my eyes stuck on the phrase:
-\"....including end caps....\"
Ah......
The real length of the lens is ~96mm. Not 122mm, as the initial report says. Still freaking huge for a DSLR 35mm lens (but in filmatic lenses so tiny that you\'d be afraid that it should fly away in the breeze if shooting outdoors...)
I made this comparison a bit quickly, but i think I got the individual scales right. The numbers are correct in any way.
