Press Release

The Internet third of April 2019

The PENTAXIANS YEARBOOK 2018 just released.

The 2018 edition of the PENTAXIANS YEARBOOK just hit the internet. The yearbook is a collection of images shot by PENTAXIANS Facebook Community members during 2018. This is the second edition of the yearbook and all the positive feedback and widespread publication of the 2017 edition made it relatively easy to create the 2018 edition. The base concept – choosing NOT to have a jury or competition definitely worked again - Every member was allowed to contribute and every member decided by himself which shot he wanted to have in the book.

This year we received more contributions and the overall quality of the contributions also rose to a higher level. It makes us really proud, to see so much talent in the PENTAXIANS community - from both professionals and enthusiastic amateurs working to a professional standard.

The new yearbook is bigger and better in every dimension. 248 pages full of wonderful photographs taken with the best cameras out there.

This non-profit project was initialized and realized by Stephen Obermeier (Germany) and Béla Nagy (Hungary). The book is available as a free download or printed hardcover book (21x21cm) on the projects website: The PENTAXIANS Yearbook 2018
The cover photo was taken by Ken Pimontel (Belgium) - Model: Anna Janssens - Hair and make-up: Jan Vangeel

The cover photograph is also rewarded by Ricoh Imaging Germany with a Ricoh WG-60

Additional info about Ken Pimontel:
Ken Pimontel is a professional portrait photographer located near Antwerp, Belgium.
He believes a classical portrait is of great value for everyone and prefers timeless images that display dignity and inner strength. He loves strong compositions, dramatic light and honest expressions.

He shoots Pentax full-frame, medium format and APS-C with a combination of old and new glass. He is currently looking for a gallery in Norway to display his series of dramatic portraits.

De Portretfotograaf - huwelijksfotograaf - bedrijfsfotograaf - familieportretten - modelportfolio - headshots - locatie - studio - Kessel - Antwerpen - Belgium

Additional info about the PENTAXIANS Facebook Community: The PENTAXIANS are the biggest PENTAX user community on facebook with over 14.000 members and also the most vital group.

I should have added a "Thank you" to Adam and Pentax Forums for allowing us to post this here!

As a member of both communities (and very happy to have a picture included in the Yearbook), I'd urge Facebook Pentaxians who some time ago found this forum to be full of trolling and negativity to give it another go.

That must be a long time ago. I've not experienced it as a rule here since I first joined.
