EXAMPLE REVIEW: https://www.pentaxforums.com/reviews/pentax_fa_50mm_f14_review.php

[Rory]

Third-party lenses for Pentax launched in 2006 or later or still in production

I assume it is "and still in production"? I was thinking Voigtlander Nokton, as it doesn't have many reviews, but I suppose it's technically not in production any longer.

[Adam]

If you currently have one, then go for it! I'll approve this topic if you'd like to go with it. Is this your choice?

[Rory]

It's the only "exotic" I have, and I feel the interest in the lens is higher now that they are ending the Pentax mount. I'd like to be able to review it for the contest.

[Adam]

I've added you to the list. Good luck, and feel free to PM me if you need technical info later on (i.e. how to get that cool image comparison dropdown into your review - it's got an API!)

[Flickeroo]

I'll give it a go.

[Brugge4Him]

I'm assuming I'm posting to the right section for the Pentax Holiday Giveaway 18-135mm Lens. My choice would be to do a review on a K-mount lens that I have used since high school, the 1:1.2.

Thanks,
Dennis

[jays0n]

I would like to review the DA 50-200mm f/4-5.6 ED WR Zoom

[filmamigo]

I would like to review the FA 77.

[Zacharias]

Nice lens!

Thanks, I'll definitely take you up on that. It'll be a bit of work, but luckily we have some time to organize these reports. Should be fun.
