Maybe it (Realist) is heavier when converted to grams only. ;-)
Seriously, I wonder how do they measure these things. I
assume it is without any film in it. I wonder if that would
explain the discrepencies above. I don't think so myself,
because 35mm film weights about 20 grams. Still doesn't add
up to 820 grams, unless after shooting, it adds some
more weight! ;-)
