Pick your Favorite Pentax T-Shirt Design!

By PF Staff in Giveaways and Events on Mar 18, 2013

The time has come for us to select the design to use for the 2013 PentaxForums.com T-shirt!

We launched a design contest a couple of weeks ago, and we now have 99 user-submitted designs which could potentially be used for the shirt.  Please help us out by voting for your favorite designs!

The poll will close on or just before April 1st, and at that point, the staff will name one of the top 10 shirts the winner!  The shirts will go on sale shortly thereafter, and the author of the design will receive a Pentax 70mm lens.  Good luck to all who entered the contest!

Win a DA* 16-50mm F2.8 Lens!

"It's good to be FEARLESS"

By PF Staff in Giveaways and Events on Mar 9, 2013

Forum member Heie has just posted a giveaway photo contest where you could win his storied copy of the SMC DA* 16-50mm F2.8 lens! Essentially, this is a contest where photo or video submissions must accompany a written portion.

Unable to just sell it off, Heie decided to give it away in this format because of all the history they shared together. In his words, his DA* 16-50 "has come running with me. It has been rock climbing with me. It has shivered under countless showers. It has been entirely submerged under the talcum-like contents of an Afghan sandbag. It has deployed to Afghanistan for an entire twelve months. It has taken part in combat operations in Afghanistan. It has seen and captured the tears of Afghan schoolboys being handed humanitarian aid in the form of backpacks, school supplies, and Beanie Babies. It has honed its aperture to the emotional crumbling of warriors during a memorial for their fallen brethren. It has shot true despite tears making the viewfinder blind to what lay through the other side. It has witnessed the withering light that is the hope of some of Afghanistan's own weathered and tired veterans of wars lasting lifetimes. It has survived the Kepler and Rakiura Tracks of New Zealand, as well as her fiords' waterfalls from being forced to go directly under them."

We expect to see some great submissions for such a prize, and we hope to see yours too!
