For IMatch (cataloging software), whenever I purchase a new lens that it doesn't recognize, I email the code to the author and he adds it to the next release. I would imagine that Adobe, for example, may have a more direct conduit with the manufacturers for this information. (There must be very few Pentaxians using IMatch, or else they don't care about it recognizing the lenses. Even my FA50/1.4 was unrecognized until I sent it in.) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
