    Samsung also has a 10mm Fisheye pancake lens. The only of its kind aside from the noted 18mm Takumar (which I also own, funnily enough). The 17mm Fish Eye Takumar is at the borderline of what I would consider a pancake but maybe it could be included too.

      Thanks for pointing to it Jose. After a long time I added the lens to the list.

    Olympus also has a 38mm f:2.8 pancake lens for their half frame Pen series. You can use this lens with APS-C and micro 4/3sensor cameras with a proper adapter. Some of that Pen lenses can also support full frame too. But I don’t know if it is possible for this lens.

    I think you should add the Voigtlander 28mm f2.8 SL and/or SLII pancake lens. It is a lovely lens and unfortunately discontinued. But I believe worth to mention.

    Now I remember that Industar-69 is another 28mm 2.8 pancake lens too. You may want to add your list.

    Hi,
    I would add the Pentacon Prakticar 50mm 2,4 lens. (as good as I know there were two versions… one metal and one more plasticky)
    I don’t know whether it was marketed as a pancake but by form factor … if Konica 40mm 1,8 or the Nikon 50mm 1,8 Pancake is a pencake than this should be considered to be one, too.
