Does anyone know if the pancake will have a distance scale on it? As much as I would love to have this lens, if it doesn't, I'm going to pass and look for an alternative. I find that manual focusing with the G1's kit lenses is awkward as I never know which way to turn the focus ring... there's no infinity stop. Because of this, it's a slow process.
If the pancake is the same design, I think I'd rather look for a fast ~20mm M-mount lens (possibly the Zeiss 21 2.8 as I simply can't afford Leica). At least then I know where I am and I can easily set up for critical focusing a lot faster. I currently have the CV 21mm f4, but it's really too slow for what I need.
I know the lens won't be available until the fall (or at least this is what I hear), but I wondered if anyone had seen anything on this topic.
Cheers,
