Hi Mark and Bong I like the "Salt Shaper Cap" photo a lot as well. BTW I haven't seen a dog or cat picture in the gallery, maybe that is too sweet for Pentax :-) greetings Markus

So I'm still wondering... It doesn't seem as if they're favoring any type of equipment in the selection process, even if the gear isn't represented very much. I don't think it would make much sens to go on anything other than the images themselves at this point and that appears to be what they're doing. BTW: I just noticed today that their lens series list doesn't include the original "K" k-mount lenses! I had to list my K 15/3.5 as the "A" version. Also, Bong, I noticed that you and I are the only two people to have submitted photos shot with the MX at this point :) I have to admit that yours is a much nicer shot than mine. That "Salt Shaker Caps" image is a stunner! -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
