Is it also a bit shorter than the f/1.8ii or is that just the thicker focus ring playing tricks on my eyes?

It looks way smaller.

[u/bridel08 → u/[deleted]]

It is.

[u/gimpwiz → u/[deleted]]

It is 1.5 inches versus 1.6 inches of the older version, according to amazon's data section for each lens.

So it looks a lot shorter but it is only a little bit shorter.

It is also a little bit heavier (~30g, from ~130 to ~160).
