Suggestion Filters for Database

sany · 10-09-2011, 11:04 AM

Hi Adam

I was also thinking of suggesting a kind of sorting filter/mechanism for the lens database. Say if I want to find all lenses that has filter size of '49mm' and further filtering by 'legacy zooms' or 'current zooms' etc., Likewise filter by cost etc., This kind of feature will be very useful and will save a lot of repeat posts like in my case I recently asked 'what are the zooms that has a 49mm filter size, in 17-70 focal range' hoping to save time instead of me going under each first party/third party manually etc., I guess you got that point.

Greetings and congratulations on the ebay style new feature with marketplace!

This will probably be implemented when we re-do the databases (2-3 years out).

In the meantime, you can make use of the following resources:
Pentax Camera Lens Search - Project #2 - Adam Oest
Search - Pentax Lens Reviews & Lens Database (here you can choose to search lens description which contains the filter field)
