I meant to say this last week but got busy. I am now really perplexed by
Pentax Canada (maybe shouldn't be).
They ask for photos... for free.. without any proactive information on terms
of use. I don't know how many people from the PDML wrote them or what they
wrote. I did inquire, and the answers I received back were satisfactory,
and though not having the power and force of a public document or Offical
Rules of Submission, I was preparing to ready some shots and send them in.
Then last week we get the message that because of the inquiries or nature of
the the inquiries it has (I'm paraphrasing and possibly coloring a little -
I don't have the original message) 'become more trouble than it's worth and
other sources will be found for the photos'.
I don't know about anyone else, but doesn't this seem just a little bit odd?
I realize that Pentax Canada is not Pentax Japan, and that even one
individual at Pentax Canada cannot represent that division. But doesn't it
just rub a little bit the wrong way to ask customers for their best photos,
not proactively provide what would be considered fairly normal information,
and then withdraw the request when it becomes too much of a bother? I'm not
implying there was anything shady... I'm more implying that this is a
surprising way of doing business.
