I know that Pentax isnt the first choice for professionals in the field. In my area, 95% of professionals use canon, followed by the stray nikon i see sometimes.

I have seen a couple of intern shooters with Pentax, but no real business operations going on with Pentax getting their images (that I know of).

My thinking is this:
If we start a business forum/profession forum we will help raise a sort of 'business awareness' amongst Pentax users. I think the effect would be that there would be one more brick lain on the path to bringing Pentax to the professional market because we will be giving it a little spot here on the forum in business.
It would probably be a slow forum for a while but when you look at Ben, Carrie Hunt, Codiac, Myself, 35mm user......you see that we have some serious shooters here.

The business forum would be a place to make business related posts i.e. 'where do i get model releases?', 'what do you think about this clause in my contract?', 'what do i charge for this weird job?', 'what is your marketing strategy?'...stuff like that.
