The CL is not having a good day... I mean yes, I have been after one for ages and yes, I am dead chuffed with it but... can somebody PLEASE tell me there is a pancake lens that fits it?

I mean one that is not Skink-related that is...

Its the nicest little lens I have ever used! The images are stunning and I've never yet suffered any flare with it, and I've tried and tried!
 
even with the "issue"?

Not sure I can afford Leitz glass to be honest.
 
Even with the Issue!

Leitz glass is silly expensive and that lens in particular!

I ran a whole film through it on the ferry back over from France last year, when there was a beautiful sunset ahead of me, I hadn't realised that the sunset had been caused by the Icelandic Volcano at the time as we had been travelling all day and hadn't been paying much attention to the radio.

Was looking at that the other night, you might find the below link of use

Also looking at eBay history, the last one went for just 140. For not much more you could probably get a Voigtlander 25mm.

"early FED used a pitch of M39x1 mm instead of the Leitz M38x1 inch pitch"

Interesting... I doubt a 1 inch pitch would fit one turn into a camera before hitting the film plane... :D

Hmm - looks like it may be a nono then :(
