1090g and 89,5 x 150mm; it IS big. Bigger (longer) and heavier than the Sony 135mm f/1.8 (SEL135F18GM)...
Erik Lund:
Yes it's 600 grams heavier than the 50mm Z f/1.8 - But a full kilo less than the 50mm f/0.95 ;D
The little relatively little f/1.8 does separation quite well and is capable of some amazing blur circles and both front and rear Bokeh.
Let's see how much more the f/1.2 can better that and the price point is more than tippled,,, :o

It's always difficult to compare between brands and focal length, but yes a substantial size!
It's comparable in size and weight to Zeiss Otus 55mm f/1.4 which is only f/1.4 and MF so I think that the engineers did a great job at Nikon!
Airy:
With my getting older, I'll soon feel compelled to moving to Leica M, or back to m43.
Getting rid of the mirror box was a golden opportunity for introducing short, light, symmetric designs. Instead, more or less systematic retrofocus design and all sorts of aberrations corrections (useful ?) add weight and bulk.
Of course, the result looks nice and marketable; unfortunately, I'm in another niche.
