    Default  Old school pancakes?  
      
      

    Daniel (or any of the other militia members), can you give me a list of the old school pancakes? I'd like something wide if possible, but list the old school MF pancake lenses. Also if you know the mount, let me know (IE M42?) so I know what adapter I might need.

    I just want to start looking for one.

    40mm I know for sure. I think that's the only one.

    that's it dude, the 40mm f2.8 is the original pancake and the only MF i know of actually made by pentax/asahi besides the "A" below.

    there's a SUPER rare, SUPER 1337 voigtlander 40mm f2 out there but they're expensive and hard-ish to find. check this: http://pentaxlife.com/categories/lenses/

    then you come to the smc-A 40mm f2.8:


    there's also a 20mm smc-m f4 which is impossible to find, but classifies as a pancake.

    there's no m42 (screwmount) pancakes that i know of, but there is one or two zenitar (the russian dudes that make the bad ass k-mount fisheye) pancakes out there.
