Re: Pentax Gallery rules
Not necessarily - I have rarely had anyone ask me about lenses I am using - but very often which camera. Wouldn't it make some sense that someone could create a great image with a Pentax SLR and a third party lens? When I bought my Sigma 100-300/4 EX lens I was looking for high optical quality and speed in a lens of about that focal length range. Guess what Pentax had to offer? FA 80-320/4.5-5.6 - not even in the same league (I had one at one point in time). So I have shots that would show the bodie is capable of good work, why not show it as well? So someone looking in the gallery might be thinking about buying a Pentax - so all images shown would give some indication of what they might expect (or could do). I went ahead and submitted a couple from different lenses - and marked them accordingly in the comments - we'll see if they throw them all out or not. -- Bruce Friday, August 31, 2007, 1:05:37 PM, you wrote: PJA This seems bizarre since I would think that Pentax would want to PJA highlight it's lenses...

Re: Pentax Gallery rules
I don't really forsee that people would use the gallery to determine which lenses produced what image, even though it might be of interest to a few. I suspect that if Pentax is using this gallery as an advertising tool, what they're looking for most is eyepopping pretty pictures of what ever genre. Since numerous Pentax lenses have been made by 3rd parties any way, it wouldn't seem to matter that much, IMO. Tom C. From: P. J.
