There is a mistake in the specifications here. The zoom ratio is not 4.6x. The actual zoom ratio is from 3.1x to 14.5x. I took excellent shots in the evening in the dark at maximum zoom handheld in the cold. In my opinion, the weight of 375 grams for such sizes is not much. At maximum zoom, its length is ~18 cm. The lid sits tight. The total length of the hood is 64 mm. The shape is a small cone, almost a cylinder. With the hood on, the cover can be removed without problems.
