Pentax Serial Number Database

PentaxForums launches database for lens/camera/accessory serials

By PF Staff in Third-Party Announcements on Oct 9, 2010

Today, we are happy to announce the launch of a feature unique to PentaxForums, and requested by the community: the new Pentax Serial Number Database! The mission of this database is threefold: first, it will allow users to discern faulty items; second, it will build an overview of production trends; and third, it will establish owner records to deter theft. For privacy reasons, owner usernames are hidden from the public.

All forum members are allowed to add new items as well as serial numbers to the database. Features include:

Search items and serials
Search for your own serials
Sort by type, category, name, serials, or date
Add new items
Add new serial numbers
Add anonymously
Edit or delete your serial numbers
View links to item fact sheets
View item thumbnails
Enter detailed descriptions for serials and items

If you are not yet a forum member and would like to contribute to the database, please create an account! If you have any questions regarding formatting standards for new items, please post in the thread below, or contact a staff member.

We hope you enjoy this new feature, and find it useful for historical purposes, or when shopping! To discuss this news, visit the official discussion thread.
