Just out of curiosity really. Does anyone know if the nwe 40mm 'pancake' is optically the same as the old M series 40mm pancake?

I can't comment on whether they are the same optical design, but I have both these lenses and can say for certain that the new 40 is substantially sharper than the old one!
