I wanted to add a new lens to the database here and I'm not sure how to do it.

Go to your home page, my preferences. That is where you can add the lens.

Thanks Heather. The problem is that the lens doesn't exist in the current list of lenses here. So it needs to be added to the database so it is then available to add to one's profile.

Go to Help-->contact us-->equipment addtion/change. This will send your message to the site council. If you can provide an image of the lens for them, it will expedite things as well.

ETA: Not fast enough.

Thanks you guys. I followed the link that Shane, Steve and LY provided. I submitted an image and the lens 'name'. Let's see how long it takes to get added.

Cool. I have that in the Nikon version. Fun lens :)

I recently purchased this and I took a few shots with it today. It is indeed a 'fun lens'.

Every time I have sent a request like that, it's only been a matter of hours.

It's been 3 days since I submitted my request for the addition for a new lens. I haven't gotten any kind of reply yet...
