a 45/2.8 that is only 11/16" thick is a tech
demonstration, I can't see how it would ever be a
practically useful lens considering it has to have an
apeture as well as a focusing ring and a lens mount. I
can imagine fumbling and breaking something like that
very easily.

Ah, the accusation leveled at the OM 40/2. Actually the Nikon web page gives the length as .7 of an inch. 11/16 " is closer to the 25mm given by Oly for the 40/2 and many on the list love it. Personally I don't think that the 25 mm is enough of an advantage over the 33 mm of a 35/2.8 to make up for the price difference. What was the old cigarette commercial, "A silly millimeter longer"?
