Hi Titoy:
The lens is 2 5/8 inches in diameter X 1 7/8 inches long (65 mm X 48
mm).
Weight is 10 ounces (284 grams).
It should fit fine in the standard semi-hard case. I don't think it
would fit in the smaller brown 1.8 ER case.
Resolution was rated V. Good (46) center and Excellent (41) in the
corners.
Here is a link to the full test:

HTH,
Bill Stanke
