Canon does not, although the 50/1.8 is relatively compact. Nikon's old 45GN, the new 45/2.8 P and the Pentax 43/1.9 are the three "pancake" designs which come to mind immediately. I suspect other lens historians can come up with others. -- regards, Henry Posner Director of Sales and Training B&H Photo-Video, and Pro-Audio Inc. http://www.bhphotovideo.com * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
