Pentax SMC DA 40mm f/2.8 Limited Pancake Lens Review

Handling and features

This compact 40mm pancake lens is part of the Pentax Limited range, which signifies that it is one of their top-end optics. It has a bright maximum aperture of f/2.8, costs around £380 and only protrudes from the lens mount by 15mm. On a Pentax DSLR this lens provides an angle of view equivalent to a 60mm lens used on a 35mm camera.

Pentax recently introduced another 40mm pancake lens with their K-01 camera, so it will be interesting to see whether this lens is still worth the extra cost.
