Requesting your comments...
I just posted a reply to a comment by tpeace to one of my pictures in the User Photo Gallery.
What are your thoughts on this? Thanks a million for your comments... Cheers, Michael

Since you posted them in the personal section, and told us the camera brand, I have no problem with it. Probably shouldn't be in DSLR forum (unless they are comparision shots) or in contests. If we deconstruct this to the max should there be any lenses besides Pentax allowed on this sight? I hope it doesn't go that far!
The point & shoot forum got special permission from Adam to allow other brands in that contest. Unfortunately not many people have Pentax P&S cameras.  Liked the pictures by the way. thanks barondla View POINT & SHOOT CONTEST #10 WINNERS in P&S forum. Enter #11. Any brand camera. Any subject. Enter now.  |

Keeping in mind this is the Pentax Forums, I personally don't have any problems with the sharing of photos taken with cameras of any other brand.
In the end, a good photo is a good photo is a good photo.

Again, no issue with the camera you used and I like the shot as well. I think you must have been really annoyed, not had enough sleep or needed a coffee as your response seemed a smidge over the top to a pretty innocent question.

Not worth ruining your day over in my opinion. I welcome the opportunity to view photographs taken by anyone and by any camera. If I am able to learn something from the photo and the information surrounding the camera settings, etc., so much the better.

I don't mind pics from other brands either, I have been participating in the P&S forum contests with other brand cameras.
So, maybe the comment was an over reaction, but I think your response was very much an over reaction as well.  Some folks are very proud to be all Pentax with all the crap we put up with from Canon and Nikon purists. If Pentax made a SLR-like P&S, I would buy one!

I have no problem as you said a good photo is a good photo. But I agree with Pat in that I think that was a bit of an overreaction to tpeace ...

Cheers, Michael PS: The food "thing" isn't mine. It's a "bon mot" by Helmut Newton after being asked (by the chef of a restaurant he was having dinner at) which camera brand he uses to be able to take such great pictures... Me thinks, he's absolutely right.

In German one says:
"Grosse Geister denken gleich..." :-) Meening something like: Great minds have the same line of thought...  Michael PS: I was told this story by Guido Karp, a friend of Helmut Newton. (Guido uses C***n equipment, but, never the less, somehow, inexplicably, he managed to take a few rather nice pictures. I'm sure most of us have a few of his pics in our home. Like the Elton John "Candle in the wind" CD cover and many more...).

I used to race cars, sometimes folks didn't care if they won, as long as they ran in a Chevy or Ford or whatever. I ran Pontiacs, the superior underdog, like Pentax! But I agree with you, I'm not a purist in the photgraphy world. It really doesn't matter to me, your pictures are great pictures and they should stand on that alone, not what camera brand you used to create them.

I have generally followed the rule for posting of either Pentax body or Pentax lens. When I did the pictures for the Jupiter 9 review on this site, I did mount the J-9 on my Ricoh Singlex TLS to show the relative size of the lens and how it looks mounted. When I posted the pic I have to admit having a sly smile...
Russian lens, off-brand body, no Pentax in sight...Steve
