Upgraded: Search photos now with specific camera model

Last Updated on January-29-2010 Add Comments

We are very excited to inform you that you may now filter the sample photos accordingly by the camera model. It took us few hours of intensive development and testing before releasing it live.

It’s a pretty straight forward filtration mechanism that would help you to find photos you need better.

Generally, at this stage, this filtration feature would only return photos that have EXIF’s data containing the camera maker and model. Photos without EXIF data would be skipped.

Of course, during the initial launch, only recent Canon and Nikon camera models can be selected from the drop down list but we are working day and night trying to bring all models into the list. At the same time, we would need to migrate all items from the old mylensdb project into the database (Complete list) too.

We hope that we are now thriving in the correct direction bringing good to the masses!

mylensdb is fitted with sample photos now!

Last Updated on January-29-2010 Add Comments

As you may have noticed that you are seeing “things” in these few days when browsing for lenses or camera bodies, you are right. This is official.

This is probably one of the most important upgrade to date for mylensdb.com. And more essentially, it’s driving towards what it claims in its tag line, The Lens Database.

Here in mylensdb, we now get to see some sample photos taken using the specific lens that we are viewing at. For instance, we are looking at Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM in the screen shot below.

Launch Day 2 : Further development

Last Updated on January-29-2010 Add Comments

Second day into the launch of our new look, we have managed things quite well so far. Few changes have been made to get things running more smoothly.

The classic is back in action

We managed to bring up the old (legacy) mylensdb back to live. It’s accessible at www.mylensdb.com/lensdb. However, we have stripped off the blogging feature from it as everything will be focused here from now on.

The legacy one will still be supported although the focus has shifted to the new one. Any major/catastrophic bug will still be solved on the legacy one, of course!

The new one is still learning to crawl

As much as it looks ‘alright’ and perfect on this new interface. There are still few things that we haven’t managed to cover but we are really looking into it now. What are they? You will know it when we are ready for it!

Meanwhile, enjoy your visit here. I’m sure there are plenty of stuff to discover. Please do feedback if you ’see’ anything unusual.
