How is Nikon's Z mount that different than the RF where they can release a FF pancake yet Canon (according to many here) cannot and how with Canon, the 16/50 STM design is most likely the size limit.

Thanks in advance!

Occam's razor: the people claiming Canon cannot make an RF pancake lens are wrong.

That would make some sense. There is, after all, a 22mm pancake for the EF-M series and that has almost exactly the same flange distance.

OTOH, perhaps the bigger image circle a FF pancake would have to throw somehow makes it very difficult.

It will be interesting to see what they come up with...when they come up with it.

Quite expensive, in New Zealand at least. One and a half times as an RF 16mm.

The Z 26 expensive? The RF 16 is a very inexpensive lens with quite a few, call them shortcomings or consolations. The Z 26 seems to be nothing of the sort and would on my camera asap if I were a Nikonian. Everyone's mileage will vary of course. However is it still 'mileage' when driving kph?

I'm very happy with my rf 16mm. This 16 x 28 inch print is in an exhibition. The RF 24/1.8 is about the same price as the Z26mm. I'm also very happy with that lens and would have it any day over a lens 2mm longer and about 1 1/2 stops slower. As Neuro notes, just as well we have different preferences.
