    I have one of these little jewels ready to ship. Not your target focal length, but great fun, and very very tiny. Even shipping to Russia is under $20 I think.

    A notable exception would be the 250/6.7 Fujinon W. In a no.1 shutter with 67mm filter size, so not quite as compact as a 240A or 250 G-Claron, but still way more manageable
    than a typical plastmat that focal length, and really nice big image circle (covers 8X10).
    It's actually lighter than some 210 plasmats.

    If we're considering a 67mm filter as small enough, then we can include the 210mm f/5.6 Nikkor and (as others have mentioned) the 210mm f/5.6 Sironar-N.

    It's a Sironar-N, a fine lens. Not as much coverage as a Sironar-S, but a very nice lens.

    Earliest Sironar, Non S, Non N, Non W from the late 1960's early 1970's can have delamination problems.

    So in the end i got myself a Sironar - N 210 f/5.6 MC - it's just the compact size as i wanted and seems like a great lens
