Yes, those numbers are interesting Winsor.... and my aim is indeed to
reduce my kit to the minimum.  It's just that when I pick the little
lenses and camera bodies up to photograph them, they seem to speak to
me: "Don't let me go Chris, sell another lens; I'm only little, and
you'll regret it..."

Anyone else hear these voices?

It is large. I don't know about unwieldy. It handles fine.  And
consider that my "kit" is frequently the camera around the neck with
a 24 in one pocket and the 135 in the other. No camera bag.

For comparison, the length is 99mm, diameter 69, weight is 650 grams.
The 90/2 is 71mm long, 72mm in diameter, 550 grams.  Interestingly
minimum focus for the 35-80 is 0.6 meter and the 90 is 0.4 meters
