Also, I could picture myself shooting in the streets with a 15, 21, 35 or a 40 mm even in the rain if they were weathersealed. Most zooms are way too big for street shooting.

Well, the 20-40mm WR Limited will cover you perfectly for the 21, 35 and 40mm focal lengths.

I don't know what you consider "too big", but here's that lens with its Ltd brethren:

It's a bit smaller than the Tammy 17-50, about the same as a Zeiss Macro-Planar 2/50 (but thinner):

I believe you have some experience with the 50-135, so here's that lens compared to the 20-40 - I would say the latter is less than half the size:

It's also only slightly bigger than the 35mm plastic fantastic.

I do get why they did it. I remember the awesome tri elmar from Leica, F4, that was fantastic. But I'd need to really consider it. It's not going to happen that in the short term... 100 Macro and 55 awaits me, probably.
