Winner: Sony E 16mm F/2.8
Regarding weight: When it comes to the lens's weight, it's actually more important than many people think that the lens weighs as little as possible — it's simply a pain to lug around a lens that's too heavy when you're photographing or filming for several hours, and a few hundred grams can make a real difference.
When it comes to minimum focusing distance, that is how close to the subject the lens can focus, Sony E 16mm F/2.8 is the winner with a minimum focusing distance of 24 cm. This can be compared with the minimum focusing distance of 25 cm for Fujifilm Fujinon XF 80mm f/2.8 R LM OIS WR Macro.
Winner: Sony E 16mm F/2.8
Regarding minimum focusing distance: The lens's minimum focusing distance determines how close you can photograph your subject, such as a face or an animal. If the minimum focusing distance is 50 cm then you cannot get closer to your subject than 50 cm. Macro lenses often have a very low minimum focusing distance so that you can take close-up shots (macro photography).
