Well, obviously I am part of the problem - I'm one of those voting on the images.
When voting, the images are presented somewhat as they are submitted. Quite a few times now, I have seen maybe 10-30 images all of a trip with some commentary much like you'd show travel photos to your friends. There might be one or two photos worth submitting to the gallery, but not all of them. Most of those I have seen like that were all shot with the kit lens or sometimes the DA 50-200. As these are the low priced lenses in the line, it stands to reason that someone either new to the Pentax line or new to photography would purchase and use them. Someone more seasoned would not submit that many similar images - only the real standouts. I guess another way to put it would be that when you notice the lens used is quite expensive, you have a notion that perhaps the photographer is more serious about their work - this is not always the case, but more often than someone shooting the kit lens. That is the explanation - it doesn't mean at all that a great photo can't be produced with either of those lenses - and I have seen quite a few great shots done with those lenses. But I have also seen a large percentage of shots done with those lenses submitted that didn't really cut the mustard. -- Best regards, Bruce Wednesday, August 29, 2007, 6:30:34 AM, you wrote: >> >> From: Bruce Dayton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >> Date: 2007/08/28 Tue PM 08:26:32 GMT >> To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List <[email protected]> >> Subject: Re: Pentax Gallery voting >> >> I only say >> that because I see so many travel photos put up with those two lenses, >> and I am wondering just what those people are thinking. >> mw> I don't understand what you are trying to say.
