I acquired a 40mm pancake lens as part of a package that included a K 85/1.8 and an MX. I had intended to sell it, but I took it with me to Mexico a few weeks ago, since I figured I could use it with the MX as a very compact package. It was great. I have a pair of shorts with large pockets that can be fastened shut. I was able to walk through areas rife with pickpockets and thieves with the camera tucked securely in my pocket. When I found something to shoot, I could pull it out and work inconspicuously. And the results appear to be quite good. I may submit a pancake lens photo for the January PUG. And if I ever get my web site working, I'll be posting a few. Paul
