Pancake anyone? Viltrox releases photos of 28mm f/4.

This will be a fun lens, and would be a nice fit for any of the APS-C or 7 C cameras. Used on FF you can switch to APS-C mode for 42MM. Release set for Aug 26 at $100 US

Viltrox finally shows the first prototype of the upcoming 28mm f/4.5 VCM pancake lens. And yes, despite the super small size, this is a full frame lens with autofocus! The highlight is that this lens can be closed with the toggle switch on the side, turning it directly into a lens cap!

Viltrox 28mm f/4.5 VCM pancake lens specs:

• Full Frame
• Autofocus (VCM  coil motor)
• Minimum shooting distance: 0.32m.
• all-metal built
• no manual focus ring
• has a lever with built-in cap to close the lens
• Price in YEN is 799 (about $100)
• Launch on August 26
• Sony E and Nikon Z

Like I told you last week…this is the perfect lens for Sony A7C camera owners!

Viltrox exhibited a 28/4.5 pancake E-mount full-frame autofocus pancake, with a silver ring on the lens body, which should be a good match with a7c

Now it looks like Samyang will release a pancake, but a 'creative' one? No idea what that means, might be interesting.
