That helps to know. It had been hit and miss getting the scans to take, but after uploading a K10D shot, nothing further has been accepted. Obviously hope they get it untangled soon.

The camera model and all the exposure data show up - even lens focal length - but the lens model doesn't. I have no idea why because I can see the lens data when I use Photoshop or IrfanView to check the EXIF. So I click Edit Info and select the Lens Series drop-down box to indicate if it's an M, A, FA or whatever. But after this the Lens choice box is still empty. So I Save and go back to my Photos page where the image is still Awaiting Submission. Now I can click Edit Info again. It remembers the lens series I chose before and now gives me a drop-down menu of all the lenses in that series. At this point I can select the appropriate lens and complete the form. After this the image gets accepted and is Ready for Review. So it ends up being a 3-step process: 1) Upload Image 2) Edit Info to choose lens series (and add image title category) 3) Edit Info to select specific lens It's really much less onerous that it appears when written out and I don't consider it a big deal, but it's an indication that the gallery is really still in beta testing.

Are you checking the scanned box to the right of browse button? If not, it's thinking you have a digitally captured image without seeing the exif data, it's declining your submission. I've submitted, had accepted, several images, digitally captured, but without exif data, by listing another film camera, checking the scanned button elaborating in the comment box. Also when the lens I'm using (300mm f4.5 FA) isn't listed in the lenses pull down menu, I pick the next closest and elaborate in the comment box.

Yes. I'm checking the scanned box when it applies. The reason given for being declined is that the images were not taken with a Pentax SLR.
