Lens questions - fastest pancake?
  • What's the fastest pancake on the market? By "pancake" I'm referring to something similar to Lumix 20mm dimensions...

  • @Riker, Are you curious about non native m4/3 pancakes too? Only, on m4/3 with an adapter they stop being pancakes..

  • @inqb8tr yes any type of pancakes...

    I'm curious to know what would be the difference between a big 20-something mm prime and 20mm pancake...how much difference is there, is it only a result of old vs new technology etc

  • I have 50mm f/1.8 Nikkor Ai-s pancake, it is few mm "fatter" than Pany 20mm 1.7. It performs very well, compared to the non pancake Nikon 50mm 1.8 Ai-s lens, but I'm no pixel peeper.

    Voigtländer 40mm f/1.4 is a fast pancake...
