The intricate world of cameras brought to you by {name}

Edwin Molenaar

A classic Leica 35mm f/2 Summicron from around 1970 is a small, fast, manual-focus wide-angle prime made for Leica M (and some R) cameras. Built with high-quality glass elements and a metal/heavy-duty mechanical barrel, it’s praised for compact size, nice micro-contrast and Leica rendering. There are a few versions produced around that period (8-element earlier designs and later 7-element pre-ASPH/M versions) — specs and weight vary by version.

Weight (in kg)

Typical M-mount Summicron 35mm (collapsible / later pre-ASPH family): ~0.155–0.252 kg (i.e. 0.16 kg or 0.25 kg, depending on exact version/hood/covers). Leica’s modern spec for later Summicron-M variants lists ~252 g; measured older compact versions have been recorded near 156 g. 
Leica Camera

Heavier R-mount / earlier 8-element variants (some Leitz/Canada R versions): ~0.51 kg (510 g). 

Size (in cm)

Length (typical M, collapsed/without hood): ~3.6 cm (35.7 mm) — with hood: ~5.4 cm. Largest diameter ≈ 5.3 cm. (Leica spec for later Summicron-M asph used for scale). 
Leica Camera

Earlier/larger variants (R or non-collapsible): ~6.1 cm length × 6.8 cm diameter (example R-type dimensions)

Material

Mechanical barrel: metal (brass/steel/aluminum alloys) with either black painted/anodized finish or chrome plating.

Optics: multi-element glass with lens coatings typical of Leitz/Leica of the era.
