Pentax Gallery rules

In running through some of the photos today (voting), I came
across
two photos that were not shot with Pentax lenses.  The
person(s) who
uploaded had clearly indicated that the lens in one was a
Sigma
180/3.5 Macro and the other a Voigtlander 125/2.5.

So I looked at the rules again and they only state that it
must be
shot with a Pentax SLR - nothing about lenses.  I seem to
remember in
the beginning that the lens must be Pentax.  Now it seems
that you
don't have to use a Pentax lens.

That would make a big difference for me, all my shots from
the Tokina
400, all my sports shots and macro shots have been excluded
til now.

This seems bizarre since I would think that Pentax would
want to 
highlight it's lenses...

I bet you have an evening's worth of work uploading photos
now 
It's funny you should mention the rules there; I was looking
through
some of the photos that needed votes and noticed several
with a
watermark/company name clearly displayed on the corners.  I
thought
that was also against the rules, a quick check just now
confirms it.
Will they be filtered out by the judges?  They were pretty
nice
photos, and it's too bad if they get excluded.

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.

You don't use exclusively Pentax lenses?

Whenever I use a Pentax lens, I exclusively use it until I
change to a
different lens <grin>.

I just checked - when you press the 'Upload" button,
the page where you select the images for uploading still
clearly states "...must be taken by a PENTAX SLR with a
PENTAX lens"

It will be interesting to see if Bruce's non-Pentax lens
images are accepted.  I've got a few in that category I'd
like to submit.




Cheers

My invite to submit images to the gallery back in January,
specifically 
stated Pentax camera bodies & Pentax lenses.

The pulldown menu for lenses originally only listed Pentax
lenses. I haven't 
noted if that has changed.

Okay, while we're at this, I wonder what reaction *I* would
get.

(shut it Alling!)
