Pancake lens for Sony A7C? (jemmy.jeena.net)

Are there pancake lenses for the A7C? While in Japan I saw a lot of older japanese guys with some camera which I couldn't identify, it looked like some digital remake of some older camera, but what struck me was that they all had this pancake lens which made the whole package very thin and small.

My A7C is also very compact already but the 35mm 1.8 lens is, while very compact, by far not flat, so I can't put it in my pocket for example.

It doesn't need to be very fast, because I will use it mostly outside in good light.

As others have hit on already, sensor size is the thing holding you back. Bigger image circles require more glass to resolve. The most compact FF e-mount option I'm aware of is Zony 35mm f2.8

Here's a quick size rundown. The zFc is very classic looking, so I included it. Had a n APS-C and is wearing a FF lens though. Next up is your A7c with the previously mentioned lens, followed by a fairly compact micro four thirds body and then the Nikon J5.

If you want compact and don't mind wider lenses, micro four thirds bodies are probably your best option. The OM-5 is a modern gripless body.

Yeah damn, ok then it doesn't make sense for my FF camera, especially because I also already have the 35mm 1.8
