Look at Pentax vintage M and K series lenses. Those were much more compact. That is , if you can manage full manual aperture and manual focus. Pentax really knew how to make good small lenses. And they are Full Frame too. lol.
I still have a few K wide-angles knocking about but when you factor in the crop factor they are no longer that wide. Plus the adapter for NX makes them longer and thus pretty un-useable for one-handed street shooting. Nearest legacy lens up to the job was Konica glass but the 24mm lens was big/heavy. The Konika Hexanon 28mm was a good size but with the adapter it still was awkward to hold with one hand. The 16mm Samsung pancake remains king for me. Nothing outstanding about the optics but on an NX500 it makes for a very discrete combo.
