Lens design for SLR wideangles is difficult and compromised by the large gap between the rear element and film plane. That’s why a 28mm SLR lens will tend to be much bigger (and often more complex) than a 28mm rangefinder lens of the same era.
A longer lens doesn’t have these issues because physics.
