Just so people dont get me wrong; Im still signed as an ambassador. Just not directly with Ricoh anymore, but with the company Ricoh has outsourced Pentax to in this area (Nordic and Baltic countries). I will still try to make the name grow amongst non-pentaxians and the pro-marked. I will make noise, do lectures. I dont care what name is on the contract..I still get everything i need and i will still be doing the same type of job. I won't notice much difference
And I'm still excited to see the brand grow in the future.
I haven't done anything wrong, there is no bad blood between any parts and there is smiles everywhere
IF they decide on a later stage to build a program for ambassadors at a later stage, I'm still one of the first ones to step in there...
Even though I'm a hired gun, i still like Pentax, and wouldn't change just for all the gear i get. I still have a job to deliver. Im just happy to be a part of what i consider a family, named Pentax
I have said it so many times, but i'll say it again; The future is bright
So keep shooting and be happy!
