I solder 0402 (0.020" x 0.040") capacitors and resistors by hand all the time.

Using a microscope, I bet I could solder their small one, above. I've soldered beam-lead PIN diodes before, which really are just passivated dies with flat bond wires.

My limit by hand unaided is 1206.
I wear a magnifying binocular headband and hand solder 0805.
0402 and smaller I let the assembly girls do with a microscope.....
