Does this mirror other people's experiences, particularly on newer bodies? I'm torn between this, the 24-105 STM, and the Sony 24-70/4. I would go with the 24-70/4L, but at 600g it's still a bit too heavy IMO.

Ever held the 24-105STM in your hands? At 525g, it's a surprisingly chunky lens for what is supposed to be an entry-class zoom. The old 24-105L is 150g heavier on paper, but when attached to a 6D they don't feel as different as you might expect. The chunkiness is only going to be exacerbated with the slim-body-plus-big-adapter nature of your A7II.
