>>4439953The lenses are big to resolve extreme amounts of detail with perfect bokehs.
This is what a 35mm f1.4 looks like when resolving perfectly contrasty micro-detail for 100mp modes is NOT a goal.
For a professional digital camera a 35mm f1.4 is larger than a 6x7 film camera's 80mm f2. it needs extra glass to sharpen up the smallest shit.
