Fujinon XF23mm Pancake Lens Coming in 2025 – Renderings and Wishes!

Share

We recently reported that Fujifilm will launch the Fujinon XF23mm pancake lens.

This reminded me of a guest post we shared in the past by Pablo, who made rendering about how such a lens could look like.

I thought that given the rumor, we could re-share his renderings and trigger a discussion about how you guys would like the Fujinon XF23mm to be.

Should it be ultra-mega compact and have an f/2.8 aperture? Or make it a big bigger but give it an f/2 aperture as in the renderings above, making it more of a “muffin-lens” rather than a “pancake-lens”?

As reference, you can see how such a XF23mm muffin-lens version would compare in size to the current Fujinon XF23mmF2 R WR. Too close in size? Better make it even smaller and f/2.8, making it closer in size to the Fujnon XF27mmF2.8 R WR?

Let us now in the comments below.

Size Comparison: Fujifilm GFX100RF vs GFX50R vs X100VI vs Leica Q3 vs Sony RX1rII vs Hasselblad X2D

Share

Camerasize has added the Fujifilm GFX100RF to their database. Now you can compare its size to any other camera.

In our case we are going to compare the Fujifilm GFX10RF vs GFX50R vs X100VI vs Leica Q3 vs Sony RX1rII vs Hasselblad X2D.

Overall the Fujifilm GFX100RF is indeed very compact for sporting a sensor that is about 70% fuller than full frame.

I know some wish it would have a hybrid viewfinder, IBIS and a faster f/2 lens. But then, besides the much higher price, they’d probably hate the Fujifilm GFX100RF because it is too big to carry around for everyday shooting, which would be the biggest tradeoff of all.

A hybrid viewfinder would have been nice, but I am also fine with a huge and crisp top notch EVF (the GFX100RF has it) instead of a hybrid viewfinder.

And as Fujifilm explained here, the wide lens (plus almost vibration-free leaf shutter) actually allow to shoot at about 1/40th with sharp results. Not to talk of the terrific ISO performance of the GFX system, which also helps to keep shutter speeds higher. But for final judgment here I’ll wait some technical reviews about it. All I have seen demonstrating low shutter speed tests, is a launch video of Vistek (shared in our live blog), in which he showed samples at 1/30th and he was happy with the sharpness. I guess below that it will become harder to get very sharp results handheld.

But if that holds true, then it is indeed a tricky dilemma for Fujifilm: if images are still sharp at 1/30-1/40th of a second, is it still worth to trade off compactness and price for IBIS?

Out of curiosity I checked the shutter speed in my images of my last summer holiday (travels, landscape and city trips with family). When I shot handheld, I have found one image at 1/80th of a second (a picture of my son at sunset in Pienza, Tuscany). Then there are images I shot on tripod anyway because shutter speeds are so low that IBIS can’t help.

So I guess for my use case, IBIS would be nice to have, but the lack of it won’t have a terrible impact on my photography. In most of my images there are people in the frame (my kids, etc), so I can’t go too low with shutter speeds anyway.
