Migrating to a new server, expect some hiccups this weekend

By admin | Published: March 3, 2023

PentaxRumors will be migrating to a new server this weekend (starting at 10 pm tonight EST). With the increased traffic and a large number of posts (almost 1,500 posts, over 5,000 photos, and over comments), it is time to move to a server with a new generation of processors. In theory, the migration should be seamless – we will be using live migration technology that promises no downtime – it will just require a reboot (a downtime of about two to three minutes). Let’s hope that will be all.

This new OpticExplorer lens simulator/database has the details on over 100 Pentax lenses

By admin | Published: February 21, 2023



Optic Explorer contacted me about their new lens simulator/lens database website (http://www.opticexplorer.com). You can use this web application to simulate the characteristics and performance of many lenses. There’s also a sizable database of existing lens designs that can be searched for and simulated. You can explore the lens database and tinker with lenses, light sources etc. without logging in or creating an account. If you want to create your own library of lens designs, you can create an account to store and share your designs. In either case, it’s free to use.

The Pentax lens selection can be found here.

Here are a few more screenshots:
