Are there pancake lenses for the A7C? While in Japan I saw a lot of older japanese guys with some camera which I couldn’t identify, it looked like some digital remake of some older camera, but what struck me was that they all had this pancake lens which made the whole package very thin and small.

My A7C is also very compact already but the 35mm 1.8 lens is, while very compact, by far not flat, so I can’t put it in my pocket for example.

It doesn’t need to be very fast, because I will use it mostly outside in good light.

    A7C is E-mount right? There’s the 16mm F2.8, 20mm F2.8, and PZ 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 OSS that are all more compact than the 35mm F1.8. They’re cheap lenses too.

      Something to keep in mind: the lenses you have listet are alle only APS-C compatible and therefore would go into crop mode on an A7C. You can use the lenses on the A7C but it would beg the question: why buy a FF camera to only use it in crop mode?
