I agree with Cotters. But larger file sizes would be good. Bandwidth costs very little these days, and I for one would be willing to contribute to the cost. Also a reminder for the incompetent and disorganised - like me - would be helpful. John On Sun, 29 Jan 2006 23:16:45 -, Cott

Then should we stop discussing Canon, Sony, Nikon, and other cameras? What about Sigma, Tokina, Tamron, and other lenses? I agreed with John because the door for using off-brand equipment had already been opened. If a Ricoh could be used with a Pentax lens, and a Pentax with a Sigma lens, then w

Looks like I'm the only dissenting voice, and I haven't contribute to the PUG for quite a while. However... This is a Pentax list, yes? Why would anyone want to display pics, in the PUG or as a link from an email posted to the list, that were shot using equipment other than Pentax? If I post a li

When I started using Pentax gear and I discovered the PDML, I liked to look at the PUG because there I could see what other's did with an equipment similar to mine (so, it was my fault, not the equiment's fault ;-) ). This way I could resist better the temptation of the Dark Side. One of my main m

Good points all. I would suggest that we just specify a dimension for the long side, so as not to discourage the submission of square pics. I would also think that we could easily go all the way to 900 points without placing undue stress on either the web connections or the server space. The si

I pretty much agree, even though I don't post to the PUG. Some time ago the requirement for using only Pentax gear was relaxed to the point where we are today: as long as there's a Pentax lens or body, the pic qualifies for the PUG. Considering the variety of cameras used on the list these days (
