I'm in competion, 18 kg including tripod, but I also carry a 135 kit… and don't walk very far.
Regarding the Otus, it is very large but that is probably due to the large aperture and the Distagon design. Sony has a 55/1.8 which is almost as sharp but quite small.
The Otus is extremely sharp, even in the corners sharp enough to show moiré at full aperture in the corners of a 36 MP sensor.
The caption says edge but it really corner:
I might ending up buying the Otus 85/1.4. I really want a large aperture 85 that is sharp across at full aperture. I would be more than happy with an 85/2 performing like the Zeiss 135/2.0 APO. I don't feel 135 mm is working for me.
Best regards

Meanwhile I think it's kind of cool having the largest backpack in the group when going on a hike. 13.5kg MFD gear...
On the other hand, if lenses are going in the Otus direction, ie more and more complex to deliver pixel peep joy to high density sensors, gear won't be lightweight...
