Default Anyone like a pancake lens?

Anyone like a pancake lens? I had a 45/2.8p for my FM3a but sold them after i got the D70. Now i long for a pancake lens for my 350D. Anyone in the same shoes? I m looking at the older manual lens as well as the pentax DA 40mm/2.8. Any advice?

Is it worth the trouble to use a manual lens on a dslr? Is the price n the image quality worth it?

this is taken using a voigtlander 40mm/f2 Ultron for Nikon AIS mount on a D50. i believe there is one for canon too. if not, just get a contax-EOS adaptor.

Picture quality sharper than my canon EF50mm f1.8 II
But I find it troublesome to forcus manually. Maybe im use to AF most of the times.
