Back in early 2024 Fujifilm shared a list of 10 potential future Fujifilm X mount lenses.

And not only that, they also gave us approximately the main specs for such lenses.

One of those lenses already hit the market and it’s the Fujinon XF500mmF5.6. Now let’s compare the early Fujifilm specs to the final specs.

Super-Telephoto Prime lens XF 400mm or longer
– 100-110mm diameter
– 240-280 length
– weight 1,300-1,400g
Fujinon XF500mmF5.6
– 104 diameter
– 255 length
– weight 1,330g

We can see that the data provided back then by Fujifilm is very close to the specs of the final version.

So let’s see what the specs were that Fujifilm shared for the rumored to come in 2025 Fujinon XF23mm pancake lens.

Fujinon XF23mm pancake specs

size 20-40mm
60-65mm diameter
Weight 80-100g

Let’s compare these specs to ones of the XF27mmF2.8 R WR and the XF23mmF2 “Fujicron”.

XF 23mm pancake
– length 20-40mm
– diameter 60-65mm
– Weight 80-100g
XF 27mmF2.8 R WR
– length 23mm
– diameter 62mm
– weight 84 g
XF 23mmF2 R WR
– length 51.9
– diameter 60mm
– weight 180g

Looking at the specs it could be either a XF23mm replica of the XF27mmF2.8 R WR or be a bit larger, going more in the “muffin” direction as we can see in these XF23mm renderings.

FR-reader Hiergeist made a sketch based on the data provided by Fujifilm and you can see the result above.

You can see there is still quite some margin in terms of size (20 to 40mm length).

Feel free to let us know which size you prefer.

Also above you can see the silhouette of a potential XF23mm pancake as shared by Fujifilm early last year.
