Well, that's just what many of the PLG contributors thought before
sending along their images to add to the Pentax Lens Gallery - <g>
(now hosted alongside the PUG at http://plg.komkon.org/ ).

~I~ (and I would assume at least a few others) would welcome your
contributions for these lenses.

Well, having spent some time and money putting a lot of images of
brick walls and other mundane targets into the PLG myself, I can
offer absolutely no assurances against "shooting [your]self into
bankruptcy" - <g>.

That's very difficult to answer.  First, take a look at a bunch of
images already in the PLG.  Most (if not all) have at least some
exposure details stated (and they all ~should~ provide such info).
Generally, the contributor gets to decide what shooting conditions
are most useful for demonstrating what he/she most wants to show for
a particular lens.

> And: where should I mail the results?

Please be prepared to mail them to me ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] ) along
with the essential details on each image.  Please follow the
guidelines for image format (which will be similar to the guidelines
for PUG submissions) that I'm providing in a separate new PDML
thread ("Pentax Lens Gallery Submissions").  (Hmmm... I guess I
should also be putting the submission guidelines right in the PLG -
<g>.)

Having just recently succeeded in setting up the PLG on the KOMKON
server, I haven't had a chance yet to add some more of my own images
(for some of the lenses already shown there, plus for some
additional lenses), but I hope to be able to do so shortly.  And, I
invite - in fact, I encourage - others to add their own lens images
to the PLG.

Thanks for your interest in contributing to the PLG.

Fred
