The Pentax 40mm f/2.8 is an ultra compact offering, which is great for Pentax shooters.

Pentax 40mm f/2.8 Limited SMC P-DA Review

This is a true gem in the Pentax's already amazing prime lineup. I mean pancakes are what Pentaxs are known for! Every pentax owner should have one of these in their camera bag. It won't take up a lot of space, i promise!

Pentax 40mm f/2.8 Limited SMC P-DA review by grim grimsson

 

A lens that is fun to use. It is lightweight, I can really feel the difference from other lenses I have when carrying the camera around. It can fit in the pocket as an extra lens without carrying a bag for the equipment.

Sharp, lightweight, fast

Pentax 40mm f/2.8 Limited SMC P-DA review by leprechaun

 

I bought a used DS body so that I could use their stunning ultrawide/fisheye zoom. Then I saw this "pancake" lens.

Gives me the ultimate: an SLR in my pocket
