I agree. I moved over to Pentax from Miranda back in 1984 when I
purchased an ME Super with a 50mm 1.7. Since I could not afford real
Pentax lenses for many years, I made do with Tamron and Vivitar. It
has only been in the past two years that I have had the financial
freedom to start building a collection of Pentax lenses.
That said, I have taken some half-decent photos over the years with
my Pentax bodies and non-Pentax lenses which - if I can ever get my
scanner to work again - I would like to share with you in the PUG.
Please don't exclude me!
As a further question, how far is this rule to be taken? My Pentax
branded 28-200 zoom is actually made by Tamron, I am told. So, are
photos taken with that lens also not allowed?
