Compact, lightweight & fast AF primes

Modern autofocus lenses are becoming heavier and larger. This is primarily due to the fact that most of the lenses released recently are high-end models intended for professionals and demanding amateurs, with their rugged metal barrels and complex optical formulas with many glass elements. Against this background, models with a compact and lightweight design are of particular value. Here is a list of such lenses currently in production.
