Popphoto's rather large online archive of older Pentax lens tests going back to about 1998-1999 has abruptly disappeared. To what degree this has affected the other brands, I don't know... but I think it is across the board.

Pdf files of SQF is largely missing from many tests now, especially the older dates.

As of now I still cannot start a thread over at pp forums to let the editors know this, as log in has shut me out.

to the PP review of the FA 200mm f4 Macro, I'd thought this was trashed in the internet mixup of pop. thanks to: https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/pentax-slr-lens-discussion/96886-i-d-lens...t-history.html

I've no idea of infosync, but their review of the K-x is remarkably upbeat.

- The Great White Storm Trooper is back! Read our full Pentax K-x review, complete with videos and images.

"The entry-level DSLR market is flooded with hype, but the 12.4-megapixel Pentax K-x blasts all of the marketing shenanigans away with an overall awesome performance. Like the Pentax K2000 and Pentax K-7, the little and big siblings to the new K-x, superb image quality resided at the core of the camera's existence, whether we shot in JPEG, RAW, or 720p HD video. There's something magical about Pentax's APS-C CMOS sensor that brings an untouchable aesthetic to the world of digital imaging, and the Pentax K-x gave the Nikon D5000, Olympus E-620, and Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 respective runs for their money. Check out our hands-on video."

Hint: no, it is not a non-barking ozzie-made adapter.
