With the shorter registration distance a 35-40mm couldn't be a pancake.

I have to confess this sentence, and it isn’t the first time that I have seen it being said, is interesting. As near as I can see, it means that I should stop waiting for a R 40mm pancake like the EF, because it isn’t coming. Not now, not later, never. 
It’s not good news, but I still have the EF 40mm, and I still have my 6D. So that remains.

On the other hand, the inexpensive R 50mm looks to be almost a pancake. Not exactly, but a little bit.
