I believe that was the generally-accepted position (inasmuch as anything is ever agreed on here) the last time this was discussed. We've certainly seen PAWs or PESOs with absolutely no Pentax gear being used in the capture. I'm amused to see that the list memory only goes back to the time when PUG rules were 'relaxed' to the current formulation. Isn't there anyone else who remember the old days before *any* rules? Even then the vast majority of shots were taken using Pentax bodies (and, most of the time, Pentax lenses too) - it's in the nature of the list for people to show off what they can do with the equipment.
