Suggestion Add Samyang and other 3rd party lenses to the Lens Finder Tool

This was my first time using the Lens Finder Tool. Very useful for finding lenses that can share a set of filters. It only searches Pentax lenses, though, and would be even better if it knew about third party lenses.

That's the plan. We've started putting some of the third-party lenses in the DB.
