better head to PentaxForums and try to recruit other DxO users to support your quest … but better yet - move to a different system 
… as for pentax you can keep it when you feel that you need to have a brick to drop in the mud or rinse under water tap … but then you can always do the same with an actual brick for free.
@noname Okay, do you just make a habit of trying to troll Pentaxians, or do you also take the occasional photograph?

thanks,
i’m sure dxo are busy trying to ahve their hands on new stuff because everyone getting those new stuff ask as soon as they are announced =]
i don’t know about their waiting list but there’s always camera/lens combo to be added, hopefully you get those missing one sooner than later.

Thanks, Mike. Also, manufacturers sometimes seem to be a bit sketchy when comes to sending out loaners, without which DxO cannot calibrate their modules. Unfortunately, Ricoh Imaging Europe (which would normally provide the Pentax loaners) seems to have skipped a number of lenses in the past. At least I recall DxO staffers citing that as a reason for certain omissions.

nobody prevents DxO to rent a lens for a day … ( as they are not using multiple samples of lenses to account for variations 
)
beating a dead horse whose corps was sold and resold …
yes, smc Pentax-FA 50mm F1.4 Classic was announced when ? in 1991 …
i don’t think dxo check every pawn shop for used lens =/
DxO relies on manufacturers to provide loaners. They will not routinely ask for loaners on their own account.
While based on the 1991 film era FA, the Classic is actually a 2023 re-release of the said lens that was introduced together with a new HD-coated variant, so that buyers have a choice.
Personally, I don’t consider the Classic the most pressing item on my list, but support for the HD lenses, in particular the Fish-Eye zoom, would be great to have.

Perfect timing as today my Panasonic S5IIX arrived! Merci bien!
Hello,
Both Pentax 50mm F1.4 will be supported in September. I will look for the 35mm as well. I can’t say about the fish-eye for now.

About DJI Mavic 3 Pro support, this drone has 3 lenses, which means 3 sensors. Main Lens, Hasselblad, is the same as Mavic 3 and has identical exif information, so it is identifed as Mavic 3. The 2 other lenses are identified with no ambiguity.
Information will be added next week to camera supported page and a bit later to DxO software.

If you have kept the previous installers or have backups thereof and the installers downloaded lately have different checksums, the latest downloads contain the current versions. If you use macOS, you can check out version and build numbers fairly easily, on Win, someone else will have to advise.
DxO software versions for macOS as of July 15th, 2023
- DFP: 6.13.0
- DPL: 6.8.0
- DPR: 3.4.0
- DVP: 4.8.0
- NikC: 6.2.0
I usually keep installers and rename them to show full version and build numbers. This helps to fall back to an older version, should it be necessary.
Now, that sounds great, Marie. Really appreciate your efforts. (As for the Fish-Eye, it’s an affordable zoom lens, with less distortion and wideangle-closeup capability at the long end, and therefore a less specialist lens than you may assume when you read “Fish-Eye”. Plus, the earlier smc-coated iteration had its own profile too.)

Well, normally, there should be enough space under the sun for users of all reasonably accessible brands. It’s just that niche brand users may now and then have to signal that they still exist, otherwise they risk getting ignored.
BTW, I firmly believe that diversity enriches photography, rather than being some sort of menace or threat that needs to be discouraged at every turn. At the end of the day, we’re all photographers or at least photo enthusiasts of various ilks, right?
Heck, if it didn’t kill the design aesthetics, I would happily tape up the brand plate on my camera - not because I don’t take pride in what I shoot (quite the opposite, really), but to avoid having to constantly explain my choices to shooters of bigger brands (don’t mean you, Mike; most Nikonians that I have met seem to kinda dig Pentax, maybe because pro-grade Nikons are built like tanks too, or because Pentax used to be a household name in the film days). Real photographers usually understand that great photographs don’t depend on the brand that was used, while photographers produce their best work with the sort of gear that compels them enough to go out and actually take photos in the first place.

doesn’t matter to me what people shoot with, it’s all about what make you happy and if it fulfill your needs. no brand has it all IMO, there’s always something missing that you’d like but they are only on another brand of camera =]

Hello, on June 7th the Sigma 20mm F2 DG DN | C for L-mount was announced for September. Now it is no more listed für September. Is there a chance that it will be supported this Year?
Further more I would give a vote for the Sigma 100-400mm f/5-6.3 DG DN OS for L-Mount.
Greetings
Michael
Hello,
we plan to support all Sigma lenses but we also depend on loans from Sigma. So, I can’t give an estimate date for what we don’t have yet. But don’t worry, they will all be supported.

It seems most new Voigtlander lens aren’t supported on the Sony FE system,
for example the highly rated
APO-LANTHAR 50mm F2 Aspherical
is missing.
Would you consider adding it?
It’s a fun manual lens to use, and it does have electronic contact for communicating with the camera for supplying EXIF information.
