Error Weight of DA L 50-200mm

pete-tarmigan · 07-31-2012, 10:29 AM

In the lens database I noticed that the weight give for the DA L 50-200mm (the putative lighter weight version) is greater than both the DA and the DA WR versions of the lens. I also noticed that the weight of the lens hood is different for each variant (as derived by subtracting the lens weight from the total weight of the hood + lens). Am I missing something? See the numbers below:

DA: Lens 225 g; Lens + Hood 285 g; Hood 60 g
DA L: Lens 235 g; Lens + Hood 265 g; Hood 30 g
DA WR: Lens 230 g; Lens + Hood 285 g; Hood 55 g
