Re: (another) PPG oddity
Which seems odd to me, in the days of film, Pentax was more a Lens manufacture than a camera maker. Really after the M series, (with the notable exception of the LX, and minor exceptions of the PZ-1 and Super Program), until the MZ-S was introduced, all Pentax camera bodies seemed to me to be second rate, (no matter how much I like the ZX-5n/MZ-3), almost an after thought so that you could actually use a Pentax Camera with your fine Pentax lenses. I'd think the PPG would allow 3rd party film camera bodies and /require/ Pentax Lenses, because that's the whole reason to buy Pentax.

Re: (another) PPG oddity
I think what Bong said may be right... You can't submit anything that wasn't taken using a Pentax _body_ You could use 3rd party lenses though. ann On 7/5/2011 04:30, Paul Dunderdale wrote: Could be a Pentax lens on a non-Pentax body?

Noticed it too. My guess is/was that they were shot with a claimed Pentax that wasn't on the list provided.(?)

During that episode when voting was an exercise in deja vu, I noticed whenever you uploaded a photo, the EXIF file was truncated or even removed. Being OC I usually deleted my photo and re-uploaded it again to make sure those information were there. My guess is others would have not noticed that and just merrily went their way without those data there, thus the "null".
