That's your interpretation, not mine. I can see that the Milvus 35/1.4 gives me the same field of view and compression as Fojinon XF 35/1.4. While the FF lenses have a larger image circle, can the difference in weight be also explained by their more complex optical formulas:
  • Fujinon XF 35/1.4 has 8 elements,  covers APS-C, weights 187 grams
  • Milvus Distagon 1.4/35 has 14 elements, covers Full Frame, weights 1171 grams (ZF.2)
  • Sigma Art 40/1.4 has 16 elements, covers Full Frame, weights 120 grams
  • Sigma Art 35/1.4 HSM has 13 elements, covers Full Frame, weights 667 grams
  • Tamron SP 35/1.4 USD has 14 elements, covers Full Frame, weights 805 grams
I would speculate that the amount of corrections applied, and the extariour housing contributes to the weight just as much, if not more...

The Sigma 40/1.4 is 10× heavier Wink and all FF lenses are an overkill on APS-C and perform bloody good on FF. And if weight is an issue, there are a couple of f/1.8 which are not too shabby.
