Perhaps things got more restrictive in the last year while I was absent
from the list, but the rule used to be that it was a gallery for PDML
members who were using Pentax-brand (or compatible) equipment. I noticed
the (new to me) official Pentax-equipment restriction when I submitted my
June submission. Since even Pentax-brand equipment is not all Pentax design
and manufacture, I assumed the restriction could legitimately be interpreted
to mean Pentax-mount (or, perhaps more general, Pentax-compatible)
equipment. That would allow me and others to mix and match whatever
equipment they have to take pictures without having to worry about whether
or not they got a piece of Pentax-brand equipment somewhere in the mix to
satisfy PUG submission. After all, I prefer to see the gallary as primarily
a way to share images taken by the members, and also as a mild demonstration
of what kinds of images can be captured with Pentax and Pentax-compatible
equipment, not as having evolved into some sort of elitist club.
Is this an unreasonable interpretation? If so, then we should probably nix
use of any Pentax-OEM'd equipment too since that stuff won't be a show of
what can be accomplished using Pentax-engineered equipment either.
