all three of the Sigma Art lenses, including the 19mm weigh only 60 grams.

Wee bit more than that - 160g for the 19mm and 190g for the 60mm

Very interesting; if you go back up to the level where they list all 3 lenses and do a compare, they show each lens weighing 0.1 lbs which would be 1.6 ozs or actually 45.3592 grams. According to Olympus, my 17mm weighs 4.23 ozs which is actually 119.9185 grams which Olympus rounds to 120 grams. I can hold either one of my Sigma lenses in one hand and my 17mm in my other hand and easily tell that either Sigma is far lighter than the 17mm, even though they are both larger.
