NASA sends a Pentax 300mm lens into orbit

Post by Airconvent »

Pentax has been a niche premium photography company for year, having been commissioned to build a custom made telescope for our Science Centre as a gift from the Japanese government when Singapore gained independence and became a Republic. And now, they continue that trend with their consumer 300mm lens now being launched into orbit ! All here will also know about the excellent Pentax lenses too. :)
