Loaner of the 25/2.8 pancake arrived today on an E-420.
Probably the first batch in the country - even the PR company didn't
know that it was in there.
First impressions -
Not as flat as the Pentax 40mm Limited but that one has the focus
motor in the camera body and this one has its own - that's remarkable.
It's so nice to see the 50mm fixed perspective again.
Very nice rubber MF ring, easy to grab - makes AF+MF simple.
Minimum focus distance 13mm reliable lock on in lowish light. (just
over 5").
Front element extends 5mm (c.3/16") at closest focus.
The little screw in cap is annoying - too small. A bugger to
rethread. I'd get a snap-on.
Feels fine on the E-330 but suits the E-1 rather well.
Serious shooting tomorrow, weather regardless.
And yes - that strap lug on the 420 is damn irritating innit?!
