Weight & weather sealing: which of these can you carry all day?

| Lens | Weight | Weather sealing |
|---|---|---|
| Sony E 10-20mm f/4 PZ G | 178g | Weather-sealed |
| Sony E 11mm f/1.8 | 181g | Weather-sealed |
| Sony E 15mm f/1.4 G | 219g | Weather-sealed |
| Sony E 10-18mm f/4 OSS | 225g | Not verified |
| Yongnuo YN 11mm f/1.8S DA DSM WL | 260g | Not verified |
| Yongnuo YN 16mm f/1.8S DA DSM | 274g | Not verified |
| Tamron 11-20mm f/2.8 Di III-A RXD | 335g | Weather-sealed |
| Tokina atx-m 11-18mm f/2.8 E | 335g | None claimed |
| Sony FE 16-35mm f/4 PZ G | 353g | Weather-sealed |
| Tamron 20-40mm f/2.8 Di III VXD | 365g | Weather-sealed |
| Sirui Sniper 16mm f/1.2 | 384g | Not verified |
| Sigma 16mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary | 405g | None claimed |
| Viltrox AF 13mm f/1.4 | 415g | Mount gasket only (dust-proof seal at the aperture ring and mount joint, not full weather sealing) |
| Sony E PZ 18-105mm f/4 G OSS | 427g | Not verified |
| Sony FE 20-70mm f/4 G | 488g | Weather-sealed |
| Tamron 12-20mm F2.8 (A084) | 570g | Weather-sealed (Tamron's own term is "Moisture-Resistant Construction" — "leak-resistant seals throughout the lens barrel"; the maker does not use the words weather-sealed. Source page states "Length and weight are for Sony E-mount", so 570g is the Sony E figure (the nikon-z entry's 585g comes from a different source and is not in conflict).) |
| Sony E PZ 18-110mm f/4 G OSS | 1105g | Not verified |
| Sony FE PZ 28-135mm f/4 G OSS | 1215g | Not verified |
Packing light? The lightest here is the Sony E 10-20mm f/4 PZ G at 178g. The lightest weather-sealed option is the Sony E 10-20mm f/4 PZ G at 178g — the same lens.
