Currently i'm writing with Adam.

Just want to add that some current Pentax pictures does have a greater size and/or higher quality than the ones in the review database.

SMC Pentax-FA* 600mm F4 ED [IF] Reviews - FA Prime Lenses - Pentax Lens Reviews & Lens Database

smc PENTAX-FA 20-35mmF4AL / Wide-Angle Lenses / K-mount Lenses / Lenses / Products | RICOH IMAGING
SMC Pentax-FA 20-35mm F4 AL Reviews - FA Zoom Lenses - Pentax Lens Reviews & Lens Database

And for the DA* 55mm there's an additional Pentax press image shot from an higher angle.

For folks who would like to contribute better / missing product photos to our databases:

Please either post them as attachments or (direct) links in this thread, and ping me, or e-mail them to contactpf at pentaxforums.
The minimum resolution should be 1000px on the longest edge. More is preferred, as then I'll be able to make adjustments as needed.
The background should be white, or as close to white as possible. I can make edits if needed.

For our first-party database I'm afraid the process is manual, but I'll be happy to upload any such photos as they come in

Thanks in advance for your contributions!

If submitting photos that you did not take, please make sure you have permission to use them.

Pentaxforums has permission to use official press pictures. I'd cross check the examples posted above, all are Pentax-origin.

Maybe i should create a thread for legacy manuals?

angerdan · 06-06-2018, 01:38 PM

I've more material, but don't know if there's any ongoing interest here.

Adam · 06-06-2018, 03:45 PM

For manuals, perhaps a public-readable / invite-editable Google Drive repository would be the way to go? That way we could share the link in one place and link to individual files while supporting collaboration.

For product photos, if they're something we're missing, we'll keep adding them, so keep them coming (as long as they're big enough and we can use them).

Any updates with the shared pics on dropbox?

I'm not seeing any outstanding requests or submissions on my end. If you could, for listings that you'd like to submit an alternate image for, please send the image directly, together with a link to the listing.

angerdan · 11-30-2019, 01:21 PM

Are there updates for the new images?
