Win a Pentax Limited Lens: Raffle Now Live!

SoonerCaniac · 10-02-2019, 06:05 AM

Thank you Adam for the amazing opportunities for active forum members. This forum is part of why I love being a Pentaxian. I wonder if it would be possible someday to do a contest based on likes not posts. I try not to say anything unless I feel I can contribute in some unique way. I use "likes" as a metric for this goal. Rewarding people for thoughtful posts would be an interesting experiment!

In any case, good luck to everyone!

That is some food for thought.
OTOH we might replace just posting with just posting for likes (i.e. popular opinions). And... will we like others' posts, if we know it would lower the chance of getting that anniversary hot shoe?

Holy Moley Fozz and Reh! Already qualified? That is some serious work on the keyboard! I know I posted a lot when a K-1 was up for grabs and now that I have one, I know that it was worth the effort trying to win one! Right? @markjerling ?

Lots of interesting prizes, but that DA* 11-18mm lens makes my mouth water.

I not sure I completely understand the rules. Do you have to post 100 posts in the month, of which 1 is in the raffle tread, or just one post in the raffle thread?

make 100 posts. That will open the raffle thread where you'll then be allowed to make one post as your ticket.

I've tried to stay a little active since last years K1 giveaway but some significant health issues popped up and life took over. This might be enough to get me at least looking at the images posted and saying a few things here and there.

That's impressive. Any figures as to the allocations world wide?

I think they said 3000 total, but they look to be available in only a few countries, and certainly not in the US.

Hegemon · 10-02-2019, 11:13 AM

Now, I'm gonna be on here on a daily basis! Haha, good luck all!

Yes, they said 3000 in the official announcement.

Would you use the hot shoe cover daily or save it for weddings?
