Question Not able to access "View Sample Photos"

**joip** · 10-04-2016, 07:41 PM

Not sure if this is a technical issue but thought I'd give it a try. I can't access the "View Sample Photos" when I'm reading lens reviews. Just wondering if I'm doing something wrong or if anyone else is having this issue? Here's the message I get:

What was the URL of the page that gave you that error?

I just tried this and it's working fine here on the small sample I selected.

Have you tried going here: Smc PENTAX-DA 14mm F2.8 ED[IF] | Sample Photos for Pentax Cameras & Lenses - PentaxForums.com and selecting the lens you are interested in via the drop-down menu? If it's not listed directly you can type what you are looking for in the lens field.

That's the same page that the 'View Sample Photos' button links to anyway except that the button fills in the lens search field for you.
