The thread's title say it all: What are the Pentax Hashtags we should use when publishing our photos?
Or Else, what does the official Pentax / Ricoh uses on their publications ?

I mainly use those ones (when I think to include hashtags on my photos):

#Pentax
#PentaxK-1
#K1
#RicohImages

But I have also seen those ones:

#RicohImaging
#pentaxdslr
@PENTAXIAN
@RicohImages
@RicohPentax

Any other essential ones we should use ?

Thanks

I don't do other than descriptive hashtags unless strongly requested by a page/group that I share an image with.

When posting a photo to Instagram that was recorded with my Pentax K-1 II, I include the following hashtags:

#Pentax #PentaxK1II #K1II #RicohPentax #RicohImaging

Please see the example at: Instagram | Nevada Photo

By the way, hyphens (dashes) are "stop characters" when included in a hashtag. "#PentaxK-1" is actually seen as "#PentaxK"

OK, good to know! I Think I pick one of these with hyphens on a publication made by Ricoh on FB...
But I will make sure I remove any hyphens in the future!
Thanks!

P.s. what is the use of those ones starting with "@" ? Not sure to understand this subtility...

Your title doesn't 'say it all'.

Hashtags aren't relevant everywhere, and where they exist, they may have their own usage protocols. Which online service are you targeting?

Hi, to be frank, I do not know... I am not that familiar with other services than FB, Flickr, Twitter and Pinterest (I'd like to use Instagram a bit more, but it's not convenient to share photos from my master photostream (that is on Flickr) to instagram from the computer ... Flickr do not offer direct sharing to Instagram.

It is a "bell ringer" for the owner of the Username who will be notified that they were mentioned in a post. Example: @RicohPentax included in an Instagram post alerts Ricoh Imaging that they were mentioned in your post.

The missing DA560 has:

They recently added the possibility to publish from web page to Instagram. It's now easy to use if you have files on your computer.

On Instagram I always add #pentaxforums

Used #pentaxk50 on my most recent instagram post. Wish I'd know about these earlier, but "backtagging" just pushes them far down the results.

Better backtagging than not included at all?
