Many photographers prefer a smaller set-up. That's because it allows them to travel light, be inconspicuous, as well as you don't compromise on quality. In fact, for many street and documentary photographers, pancake lenses are perfect for a point-and-shoot set-up, which can make shooting quite an exciting experience.
If you have been reading The Phoblographer for some time now, you must know that we love our pancake lenses. These cute little optics were part of the SLR era, but when digital took over, they pretty much vanished.
The pancake lens is a favorite of so many photographers who want to travel light. Mmmm, the pancake lens. It's seriously one of our most favorite optics for any camera. Mount it to your mirrorless camera and the whole package will be small and lightweight.
