You can get very compact 35mm bodies now, but lenses tended to grow in recent years to cope with the growing pixel counts. So overall a mFT kit will be significant smaller than 35mm unless you talk about a Leica M :)
The Olympus 25/1.2 is a stunning lens, but certainly large for a mFT lens. it is still slightly smaller than a Leica 50/2 L-mount lens.
- trap_goes_hot 4y agoLens size and weight changes due to many aspects - number of extra corrective/aspherical/low dispersion elements, the _equivalent_ aperture, the number of focusing motors, whether the lens has optical image stabilization, whether it is weather sealed, whether it is made out of plastic or metal, etc, etc. Its not easy to just isolate for sensor size. But _in general_, you can make small full-frame lenses which will be equivalent to micro four thirds lenses. The problem is that they won't sell. Today, few people want f/2.8, f/4, f/5.6 primes for full-frame. Most people shooting full-frame want F/1.2, F/1.8 or F/1.4 primes.
