Good for you. Getting a free lens when you're already a Pentax user is great.
Pentax is being pretty cheap and backwards though. Why not give away a few camera bodies to boot? That way people that visit Pentaxian.com that are not Pentax users, if winning a body, would be introduced to Pentax and have an incentive to buy more Pentax gear. OTOH, If I went to a site like this and I was not a current Pentax owner, none of the prizes, not even a lens or a flash, would provide me the incentive to run out and spend money on a body to go with it. They can't afford to include a single K10D or K100D on the prize list? Tom C.
