That reminds me of a Photo Rally competition I did

We had a whole day in which to photograph 9 topics. It
was a beautiful sunny day, and one of the topics was
Rain. It brought some interesting photos. They had
some neat topics that could be

I read that as it's OK to use a non-Pentax body as long as you are using a

though, when I have the perfect picture to submit then suddenly realize it
was taken with my Ricoh body and a 3rd party lens.

Keep in mind that once you find a Pentax

Thanks for not rejecting it this time, though!

I personally dislike the lens themes. I figure though if some individuals
can occasionally submit images taken with non-Pentax cameras, that I can
break the theme rules from time to time.

on the wide-angle POV theme:
Many of my favorite wide views have been made by cropping
the center horizontal from a normal lens. So, even folks
