I was just going to comment on that thought, John.
There are basically two elements involved in a PUG image, the
photographer and what lens he used.
After all, it's the lens that makes the image, not the body.
Like Cotty, if the photog uses a Canon body because it fits his hands
better, or for whatever other reason, it's the lens that makes the
image. He tends to go to great length to assure he uses the lens he
likes! A Pentax lens!
If I"m going out on a photographic foray, I first choose a body
(K-mount, M42, whatever) and then the final choice ~ the lens!
A dozen reasons for lens choice, but what you put on film or on the CCD,
is a result of the lens you've selected, not the body...
The body merely holds the lens and the image recorder (film, CCD) in the
proper position so you can record the image being formed by the lens.
If it comes to a vote, keep it with Pentax lenses, and allow a body of
the photographer's choice.
When you say "Look at how this image turned out!" you're not bragging
about the fact it was shot with your MX, or your K-1000, you're saying
"Look at the special way this lens makes images!"
Yeah, stay with Pentax lenses as the prime criteria for acceptance.
Just a few of my thoughts about it.

Oh yes, sure, but the difference with the PUG is that,
here, I 'know' many of the submiters (or at least I
have read their posts for many years), and I know that
I will receive their feedback if I comment or ask for
details in the PDML.
