Have you considered the new 28-70mm L mount lens, with the fp L (with optional viewfinder) at all? (That would probably be about the smallest zoom set-up you could get, while maintaining good image quality.)

It also highlights the impact of going full frame mirrorless, as the modern 28-70mm DG DN is half the weight of the old 24-70mm for DSLR.

But the 24-70mm f2.8 DG DN Art (835 grams) is big and heavy, compared to the little 28-70mm f2.8 DG DN Contemporary (470 grams). This makes me think it's more about a new design, and less emphasis on image quality in the corners, rather than some advantage of designing for a mirrorless mount.

On the other hand, the 17-50mm DC lens you would use on the APS-C sd Quattro is only barely heavier than the new 28-70mm, so overall there isn't *that* much of a change.
