It's all relative. The Sigma 105mm Art with tripod foot permanently attached and the adapter, that's a heavy lens at 1800ish grams.  The RF 85mm f/1.2 isn't really heavy.  It's expensive, but heavy?  Just 1200is or so. It's not even a walk around focal length anyway. For a 50mm less weight is far more important. Or an f/2.8 (which is pretty heavy in the RF version...)

To be honest, I don't get all the complaining about weight. Get an A7IV + Sigma 85mm f/1.4 DN if you don't like weight and accept cats eye shapes up to f/4 or so.  If you want f/1.2 and stellar IQ you can have it, but you can't beat physics at some point, so carry it, grow up, stop complaining.
