Here in the UK the 40mm 2.8 Pancake lens showed up today and all over the place. A main dealer local to me had 2 arrive so I snapped one up.
Currently I'm going to be too busy to put it through any proper tests but a few things have occured to me:
1: The AF motor isn't silent like I expected it to be.
2: MFD is about 4 inches. You can get REAL close with this. Macro kinda close.
3: Most importantly IMO is that now I have a 5D3 which fits in my jacket pocket. Which was the attraction of mirrorless systems. If canon pulls other focal lengths out of the bag I see it taking sales away from the likes of Fuji.
