Pentax Gallery Response
I think it was Bruce who passed along a response from Pentax re the frustration of attempting to post to their gallery. I received one a bit ago that sound very much like the one earlier. as I recall. "...now in Beta mode 'til bugs get worked out before going "live". Passing along the inquiry to their Texture Media and should be in touch soon". Canned auto response for the moment. I did thank "Carolyn" for their providing a means for me to display work.

Carolyn also answered my query about that funky use comment. She said to ignore it, the wording was bad and they were going to revise it.

Re: Pentax Gallery Response
Ann Just to clarify. You need to send the request for an Artist Code to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm not sure if clicking on the "Contact Us" link on the Gallery website goes to the same people. It may, but if you don't get a response in 3-4 days (that's how long my code took), it might be worth trying again at the above address.

RE: Pentax Gallery Response
Hi Mark Kepler lists the 1957 Ashai Pentax as the first body with the name Pentax. Pentax Europe was founded 1962 http://www.pentax.co.jp/english/company/company/history.html 2002 Corporate name changed from Asahi Optical Co., Ltd. to PENTAX Corporation You are right that the first lenses with the name Pentax appeared in1975. But, regarding the lens naming would you say that only a lens with the name Pentax on it is a Pentax lens or does it qualify if it is built by Asahi (Pentax)? And, should M42 Takumar lenses be allowed in the Pentax Gallery then or not?

Re: Pentax Gallery Response
I received an email this AM from Faye Wolfe who said that Carolyn had told her I was having problems uploading. She asked me to send the images to her and she'd search out the problem. I apologized for not having advised Carolyn, but I am now able to freely upload. Thanked she and Carolyn and complimented Pentax on their choice of employees and fine photo equipment.

RE: RE: Pentax Gallery Response
Hi Mark I left them an email and had an artist code one day later. Since nearly all of my photos are made on film and with old equipment I miss a lot of M/A lenses and the complete Spotmatic/Takumar series in the lens/camera selection box. I hope they will add lenses at least and wrote them an email. thanks and greetings Markus -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Mark Roberts Sent: Thursday, March 15, 2007 9:09 PM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: Re: RE: Pentax Gallery Response Markus Maurer wrote: >There seem to be no easily visible way to apply for an Artist >number like "create a new account" :-( I expect that is quite deliberate and that they have chosen go go the email route to keep the number of participants and total images down.

Well, if it's sold as a Pentax lens it's a Pentax lens :) If it was made after Asahi changed its corporate name to Pentax (2-3 years ago) it's a Pentax lens no matter what's written on it. Before that I suppose it could accurately be called either a Takumar or an Asahi lens. >And, should M42 Takumar lenses be allowed in the Pentax Gallery > then or not? I expect they would allow it since they were made by Asahi and there were no lenses sold under the name Pentax back then. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
