 There isn't an official definition for a ''pancake'' lens, but it's certainly appropriate to class the 21mm ƒ/3.2 AL as one. At only 190 grams (4.9 oz) and one inch long, the lens/body combination becomes very small and portable.
The 21mm f/3.2 AL is a designed-for-digital lens: built with a smaller imaging circle design, it will vignette on a Pentax film body. It replicates a field of view of just over 31mm on a digital body. The lens comes equipped with an interesting lens hood, takes your choice of either 43mm or 49mm filters, and is available now for around $430.
