I know the camera is poo poo but that pancake lens still seems pretty amazing to me..

Is it still a pancake when 3/4 of it is sticking into the camera body, thanks to the legacy k-mount nonsensically transplanted onto a mirror-less body?

There's some math about how for a 35mm image sensor, a 50mm prime focal length design requires the least amount of lens elements and fancy (expensive) optical tricks.

There are also economies of scale at work here. Most modern 50mm designs have been the same for decades.

I am torn guys. I love my Nikon D80 but for some reason I have a nagging urge to sell it and get a Cannon T2i. Help me.

This is a pretty cut and dry case of Gear Acquisition Syndrome. I can't fathom why you would want to do this.

The T2i is plastic and only has one control wheel. If you're gonna switch to Canon at least get something analogous to your D80.

Seriously if you want a brand new Kiev88 or M42 screwmount lense you can get one.

I WANTED to like their system, the 35mm f/3.5 macro lens is a loving great lens for the price, but with the sorta lackluster pro-level body selection and expensive/non-existent lenses I sorta couldn't justify it :(

Putting a thumbnail sized sensor in a DSLR body is probably something that made a lot of sense on paper in 1998. Not so much now.

Nah - you wanna discuss outrage, discuss Leica's lens pricing. What's the newest APO 50mm, ~$7k? Who in their right mind is paying that kind of money for a 50mm prime? Even their value Summarit line is a rip-off - $1700 for a 50mm f2.5... And the prices just went up.

Zeiss ought to release a full frame digital Ikon with Cosina and poo poo all over Leica.

Voigtlander sells a 35mm F1.2 Aspherical for $1200. Having a another full frame rangefinder to choose from would be awesome.
