Perhaps things got more restrictive in the last year while I was absent from the list, but the rule used to be that it was a gallery for PDML members who were using Pentax-brand (or compatible) equipment. I noticed the (new to me) official Pentax-equipment restriction when I submitted my June submission. Since even Pentax-brand equipment is not all Pentax design and manufacture, I assumed the restriction could legitimately be interpreted to mean Pentax-mount (or, perhaps more general, Pentax-compatible) equipment. That would allow me and others to mix and match whatever equipment they have to take pictures without having to worry about whether or not they got a piece of Pentax-brand equipment somewhere in the mix to satisfy PUG submission. After all, I prefer to see the gallary as primarily a way to share images taken by the members, and also as a mild demonstration of what kinds of images can be captured with Pentax and Pentax-compatible equipment, not as having evolved into some sort of elitist club. Is this an unreasonable interpretation? If so, then we should probably nix use of any Pentax-OEM'd equipment too since that stuff won't be a show of what can be accomplished using Pentax-engineered equipment either. later, patbob ([EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]) - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
