PANCAKE lens? Heaven forfend, friend Mark! My
idea of a wide-angle lens is my Questar 700! I
rarely shoot a lens shorter than 5cm/50mm and,
when I do, it is probably going to be a 2.8/35 or
4.5/21 Zeiss Biogon or a 5.6/20 Russar. No, I do
not use lens hoods on these puppies.
If I want pocket-portability, I pick up my Leica
IIIc with its collapsible 2/5cm Summitar or my
Rollei 35S and, yes, I use lenshoods on both.
