What is "compaction" in reference to camera lenses?
I’m working on a video interview of a very successful photojournalist; he mentions his favorite camera lenses and how he loves the "compaction" of the lens. I thought it may just mean the small convenient size of the lens piece itself, but it sounds like a technical quality of the lens that affects the photographic rendering.

I have heard of it in film developing techniques, but not in regards to a lens. Perhaps he refered to the compactness of the lens.
That would be a great follow up question to ask him. IE: "You mentioned how you love the compaction of a lens that you use. What do you mean by that? And how is it useful for the work you do?"
