In my recent Pentax MX review I touched on the fact that I’d only really been shooting it with the 40mm f/2.8 pancake lens. This is a lens that seems to divide opinion a little bit, so I thought I’d share some of my currently-slightly-grumpy-about-photography feelings toward it.
A few years ago I decided to look for a compact camera to always carry with me. After trying a couple of rangefinder, a plastic point-and-shot and a couple of Minox, none of which mattered to me. I had almost changed my mind.
Huh… look what a beautiful frame! Let’s take the camera from the bag and… Damn, too late! How many times this happened? Sure, this is not the end of the world, but a bit bitter remains.

Sometime later, surfing the net, I do not remember how and where, I read something about the latest SLR produced by Canon in September 2004. Curiosity made me begin to look for information about what was apparently a small SLR with many features of more modern DSLRs.
