I saw the Steve Irwin (the "Crocodile Hunter") advertising Pentax in the latest Popular Photography. I was actually happy to see Pentax take out a several page long spread. It seems as if Pentax has the reputation of the "red-headed-stepchild" syndrome... Why is that?
How would I advertise my favorite Pentax camera? Well maybe a full page ;-) for the LX!
