PBase does, and the images of mine that get the most views by a pretty wide margin are those taken with the tilt/shift lenses, presumably because there's a fair amount of interest in them but not a whole lot of pictures (for a long time I was the only one on PBase who had any pictures tagged with the 45mm PC-E).

I could see the 35mm f/1.4 lens having a fair amount of interest.

But it may just be that the simplicity of the shot due to shallow DOF means that it looks good as a thumbnail. Some shots just don't translate well when viewed as tiny thumbnails.
i am still figuring out Flickr, but i know they have search terms on tags and descriptions and such. and i can assign keywords in Bibble5 to add to the EXIF data, which automatically show up as tags in Flickr. and the camera model shows up automatically, but not sure about specifics like the lens. i know my raw file passes on the lens data to Bibble5. for what it's worth.

you are definitely right about the thumbnails. that's one of my gripes about Flickr is that their small square thumbnails are too small.
