The DA 40 Limited, a 40mm F2.8 light weight pancake lens. All metal construction and razor blade sharp from corner to corner.

cool pancake.
Very nice capture.
what is the crop factor of your K-x?

Thanks. Pentax FOV crop is 1.5, the same as Nikon. This lens combined with the diminutive size of the K-x almost makes for a package about the size of a point a shoot. Pentax current makes 3 pancakes, a 21mm, the 40mm and a 70mm. All of them have great reviews, quick shift focus and all metal construction. Top quality stuff.

Looks like somebody doesn't like you hotlinking the image that he pinched off the Pentax website.

I love my little 45mm pancake. I do wish Nikon made a 21mm version. Hm... how much was that K-x again?
