[Lowell Goudge]

If you are new to the lens sample photo archive, please read the general introduction about this section.

Please note that I have decided to split the index into pentax and non pentax as the post became too big once I started including links to lens reviews and lens clubs. It would have needed splitting at some point, this just made it happen sooner

A request for all people adding sample images
Please check the listing here before posting a new thread for a lens that already exists.
Note the threads ARE NOT intended to be camera specific, they are lens specific. However I have added separate links to threads specifically set for full frame and also lens clubs where relevant. If you want to start a new, full frame specific thread, please put Full Frame in the thread title.
If you want to post and you get a warning that the thread is over a year old, Please post in that thread (check the box stating you understand the thread is over a year old) and DO NOT start a new thread

Thank you

For navigating the index, please note that for some lenses, there is no thread in the archive but only either a thread for the lens club, or for full frame images only or for links to the lens review section. For these lenses, the name appears in black text, and not the red text of a url link. Clicking on black text will have no action, where as clicking on the URL links will take you to the correct thread

Hi Lowell link to FA 80-320mm seems broken.

Hi Lowell link to FA 80-320mm seems broken.

fixed. let me know if there are any others. it has been a very long time since i tested the index in its entirety

[.a.t.]

Thanks for all your work here, Lowell. I have some observations / suggestions :

The Auto Takumar 35mm F2.3 is listed twice. Once under the Auto Takumar heading - where it belongs - and also under Takumar Presets.
And the image archive link is included under the Presets heading.
Takumar 35mm f/2.3 - PentaxForums.com

Perhaps the archive thread could be retitled to "Auto Takumar 35mm f/2.3" for clarity?


Also, I don't see an entry for the FA* 300mm f/4.5 in the index. But there is an archive thread for it:
FA* 300mm f4.5 ED IF - PentaxForums.com

thanks, don't know how i missed the FA300/4.5 but its there now. as for the autotak, this was my error, the lens description does not include the word auto, from the OP, so i assumed it was a preset, but following your comment it is clear there was no preset 35mm/2.3 both items corrected

[pepperberry farm]

where would you suggest samples from Ricoh GXR modules?
