It's a Pentax list. Show Pentax pictures. Talk about Pentax gear. QED.
.02 Cheers, Cotty ========== As another Canon owner, I'll throw in my .02. PAWS and PESOs already allow me to show pictures on list. It was Shel's idea and that is the way it was originally proposed, no restriction on equipment, and that's the way we've all been doing it. They are plenty of others who have showed Lieca, Canon or Nikon pictures on list as well (even those that also have Pentaxes). So I'd vote for keeping the PUG the PUG, Pentax User's gallery. Just broaden the definition. It's already been broadened for lenses, so some could do a Cotty (use a Canon with a Pentax lens), if so inclined. Broadened it to include Samsung users, since it appears Samsung cameras will basically be rebadged Pentaxes. Increase the picture size, if the server space allows, if it will encourage more to submit. Sure, I'd probably submit to the PUG (four pictures total 3 K-1000 & ZX-5n, I think, one Optio shot). But somehow that doesn't feel right. There are plenty of places for Canon users to show their pics now. I don't really feel deprived. Well, maybe a little, but not a lot. ;-) Basically I agree with Cotty, except for the PAW/PESO thing. I chose my own path in switching to Canon. I will probably not switch back. But I am very happy to be able to remain on list and very happy to be able to show PAWS/PESOS. And, yes, ERN, I still have the Optio s4i too. Actually, I think not too far off this may all become a moot point. But that's my opinion. Marnie aka Doe
