In English, is there such kind of expression "as light as pin" or "as light as feather"? Or what else is frequently used in simile when we want to express sth is light--not heavy at all? Thank you.
 
"Lighter than air" is one more.

As light as a feather, yes. I've never heard "as light as a pin".
 
one more "as light as air"
If you have any other similes such as "as quick as", "as good as", "as big as" ..., try googling it, you will surely receive many results.
Thanks
