Originally posted by Kunzite Those are photos made by volunteering users, with some basic EXIF data and a comment.
Many of the photos are even taken by Ricoh employees - over the week-end, on their holidays, etc.
The K-1 Lab photos are not meant to demonstrate a photographers skill or art, but simply to show how various lenses (old and new) work on the K-1.
The site's primary mission, as I understand it, is to re-assure upgrading Pentaxians that their existing investment in Pentax glass will work fine with K-1 (either in crop or FF mode). A secondary goal is to visibly demonstrate to potential K-1 buyers - particularly those new to the brand and anxious about lens availability - that a plethora of lenses exist for the camera.
I find it a useful place to visit when looking at lenses to buy or use with the K-1. It does it's job well enough.
