About PentaxForums.com

Founded in early September, 2006 by Adam Oest, PentaxForums.com is a Pentax discussion community dedicated to providing a friendly, useful, and feature-packed forum for its members. Our mission is to become the ultimate photography discussion board on the Internet, specifically for Pentax users. In addition to offering its highly customized vBulletin-powered forum, PentaxForums.com also offers free photo space for its members in the User Photo Gallery, as well as other resources, such as the Lens Review Database and Links Database that delve deeper into the world of Pentax equipment.

Among several other things, highly unique to our site is the Photographer's Marketplace, which allows all forum members to list their old or unwanted photography gear for sale. This not only allows users to easily find buyers for their items, but it also gives those buyers a very large selection of items that may not be available elsewhere - especially rare or used equipment! Although the transactions themselves are not processed through our site, by using the Marketplace, forum members reach thousands of potential buyers quickly and easily. In addition, the Marketplace has a built-in feedback system that can build users' reputations on the site, and best of all, it's absolutely free to use! We feel that a resource such as this one is integral to any large community of users.

Our website makes it very easy for users to upload, post, and share photos as well. The "Post your Photos" section is dedicated to sharing photos in threads, and forum members can easily link to and embed photos in their threads or upload them directly using the attachment system or photo gallery. For more serious photographers, we feature a critique forum.

Finally, every month, PentaxForums.com holds a public photo contest with a unique theme. At the end of each month, a poll to decide the winner is posted, and after two weeks, the winner is announced and showcased on the site homepage. Our users hold unofficial weekly photo challenges as well.

Our site receives over 100,000 daily pageviews, and the forum contains over three-quarters of a million posts.
