I fully agree - mirrorless should be different. I'm currently testing the 16-35GM on the A7R II - thus a huge lens on a tiny camera again.
What's the point of this? Lenses of the same size as their DSLR cousins in a package that is worse balanced.
Of course, I understand this from a marketing perspective because it's still in the people's head that FF is the gold standard.
However, APS-H would have made much more sense really.
So what's happening now? Pana/Oly/Fuji are releasing "big" bodies again - to match big lenses once more.
If I had the money I'd probably try the Leica CL now - because Leica understood mirrorless about a hundred years ago already.
