Camera Times now has a section dedicated to PENTAX

Recently PF members were advised of a "favorite camera" poll on Camera Times which had Pentax languishing near the bottom. Today, after much activity by forum members, see Pentax is now top of the list.with 621 votes ahead of Nikon in second with 574 votes.

When I first looked at the site there were tabs for Nikon Rumors, Canon Rumors etc but no Pentax. So I emailed them with the question Why not Pentax?

Well blow me down if they have not responded with our very own tab. Camera times To be fair they have added several other brands too.

A small victory in the great scheme of things but every step counts.

So finally there is a Pentax section on a site nobody ever heard of.
The traffic to Camera Times probably doubled when PF users started to participate in the poll.

You guys should stop questioning the power of squirrels, in particular Otis' Giant Army of voting squirrels!

Squirrels did it...don't get too smug, you only had one vote, squirrels have billions!

Here's a thought for you.......ever wonder about those strange names of the posters here? You know, like "Rapid649*" and hundreds of other nonsensical poster names?

Do you ever wonder what kind of people they are....or are they even people? You could ask Otis and he'd tell you, but then he'd have to kill you!

Regards!
