will canon make more pancakes?
wickidwombat:
there seems to be a fair bit of interest in the shorty 40 (love that name!)
so will this be the start of a series of pancakes? I'd be pretty interested in a 20 or 21mm f2.8 pancake of similar design and price

No. Those 20mm 21mm pancakes are for M4/3 system, which will be equivalent to 40mm on FF. Anything longer/wider would not be possible since the 40mm "normal" lens is the simplest.

I'm normally quite stupid in regard to technical things, but doesn't matter what system it is a 20mm lens is a 20 mm lens. Makes no difference how the sensor sees it, so the physics are the same. Could be wrong, but just my punt.

Pentax? the current 21mm and 70mm limated primes are I'd say small enough to be called pancakes and the 15mm isnt far off.
With Canon going mirrorless though I'm guessing if we see many more pancakes it'll be on a new mount for those cameras.

I thought this looked pretty pancakey maybe its more of a pikelet
Sorry I'm off to get my eyes checked now
wickidwombat:
you are correct
I still think a 20mm pancake would be cool though :P
