Summary

The TTArtisan 24mm f/3.8 Pancake is an ultra-thin prototype lens on display at the 2026 CP+ show. According to exhibit posters (ShotenKobo), it is an Autofocus (AF) lens designed for the Sony E, with an estimated release in Spring 2026 and a suggested price of ¥20,000 (approx. $130 USD). It remains considered a rumor until its global announcement. ----- According to recent rumors and images leaked by specialized sites and distributors such as Shoten Kobo, TTArtisan is preparing the launch of a new 24mm f/3.8 "pancake" lens designed specifically for full frame cameras. The most disruptive feature of this optic is its extremely slim profile, which barely protrudes from the camera body, transforming interchangeable lens kits into tools almost as portable as a pocket camera. Although it is still handled as a rumor based on prototypes, everything indicates that it will maintain the robust metal construction and competitive price that characterize the brand. From a technical point of view, this 24mm sacrifices an ultra-fast aperture (remaining at a moderate f/3.8) to prioritize absolute compactness. Being a wide angle, it is an ideal option for street and documentary photography, allowing the photographer to go unnoticed in urban environments and capture wide scenes with great depth of field. Its lightness also makes it a perfect companion for traveling and hiking, where every gram counts, or even for APS-C camera users looking for a focal length equivalent to about 36mm, very close to the classic "universal" 35mm. It is important to emphasize that, as this is a leak, there are still details to confirm, such as whether it will have electronic contacts to transmit EXIF data or if it will be a purely manual objective. However, expectations among the photography community are high, as there are not many real "pancake" options for modern mounts like Sony E or Nikon Z. If the rumors are confirmed, this lens will be positioned as an essential tool for those seeking minimalism and discretion without giving up the quality of a full-frame sensor.
