Should be possible as Canon offers one but since there is a 23mm F2 non pancake lens already Fujifilm will not bring this. I want this pancake lens too. Unfortunately no other manufacturor as Canon seem to be able to build such lens. I'm looking at you Sigma, Tamron, Voigtländer...

What about the 18mm f2? Too wide?

If size is what you're aiming at you can always go with Fujinon 27mm F2.8

ah yes that's an oldie
what about do any of the small Fuji cameras do the X70 trick of 28-35-50mm quick views? I remember standing next to a large ship simply no being able to visualize with the Nikon Coolpix A 28mm what the picture would look like at 35 or 50mm. I could not visualize the crop, the 28mm world was just too wide.

Not small enough.

I find the X100 series to expensive. But it seems to me there is no alternative if you want a bright, low depth, carry almost everywhere camera.

More pancakes is always good thing. Heck, I would be very happy if 27mm was updated to not be so slow, loud and maybe didn't need a wrench to turn the focus ring. If it came without dust inside it would be even better...

I would prefer 44mm Belgian Waffles. So light. So fluffy.

Belgian? Heh, Sony branded full-iron waffles have 1.5x more fluffiness ;-)

Lot's of companies have built good pancake lenses. Fuji did it with the 27mm & 18mm. Samsung did it with 20, 30, 16mm. Panasonic did it with the 20 F1.7. Probably lots of others too. One thing I notice is that all pancakes seem to be unit focus (ie the entire lens assembly moves) rather than internal focus (IF). Which means slow and noisy. I suspect that internal focus lenses (like the new fujicrons) are more difficult to make small. I, too, would love a 23mm F2 IF lens.
