[rollei_list] Re: OT: Tessar 2.8/45 "Pancake" for Contax/Yashica

Oh I quite understand, Carlos - my favourite Leica
lens is the 40mm f2 Summicron-C, very compact and a
great lens. I've also got a Pentax 40mm f2.8 Pancake,
and a Minolta 45mm f2 - it's a great format for a
standard lens, makes for a full-size pocketable
camera.

Good luck whatever you eventually decide!
