I would like to request that if anyone has any photos stored that they trash them immediately because again they are my photos and should have never ended up onto the net in the first place.
I apologize to Pentax and more specifically Ned Bunnell and Ken Curry who had faith in us to and expected this to stay under the table. We appreciate all you have done for us in the past and hope this doesn't cause any separation in our relationship.
Dearest apologies,
Chris Warkocki
Ned's just mad cause your photos were better than his...
But seriously, folks, I hope this little indiscretion doesn't do you or the site any long term damage. As soon as you found out, you handled it well. I hope the boys at Pentax will be charitable about this. No damage was done - it just didn't fit their schedule.
And the lens looks fabulous - might cut into my 50-135 purchase, cause I don't need both of them, and I certainly like the extended reach. Also, if this one's full frame...
Nudge, nudge.
Thanks for all your hard work, manno, and Ned and company, if you're listening, give him a break; he did the right thing as soon as he discovered his error. He's obviously sorry, was not done maliciously, and will check carefully next time I'm sure. We're all human; what more could he do? We love you both, and will continue singing the Pentax company song loudly and proudly (do they have one?).
Cheers,
Cameron
