Lens Review Database - Separate different optical versions

In the lens review database, many of the articles for older M42/K-series lenses show multiple different optical formulas for a lens at the top - sometimes significantly so. For example here's the Listing for Super/SMC Takumar 28/3.5:





The Super and SMC Takumar 35/2 are really different as well.





The Auto Takumar 85/1.8 and the SMC Takumar 85/1.8 share a page, and they don't even have the same number of elements!





In my opinion - if the lenses have non-trivial optical differences, they should have their own page in the database.

This is already done in our lens finder:
Pentax Lens Search | PentaxForums.com

In the future, the user review database will also follow these same entries.

Awesome, thanks Adam! I know it's a pain to go through the reviews and split them out.
