. . . Need to balance getting people to post and getting people to post good content and not filler crap.

Well, yes, that. But mine is more practical

OK, now I'm seeing it. I had to delete the notification that was begging for donations. Once I did that the progress bar notification took its place. 49.43%, almost halfway there!

Thanks, worked for me

- not so interested in a new camera (still learning my way around my K5) but it gives me a good goal for practice!

K-5 is a great camera. I started photography 4 years ago by buying a used K-5. Until this year it was my only DSLR. I have many great memories with the camera.

So have fun with your K-5.

Truth be told, I don't expect to win any giveaway (because I almost never am so lucky and ) because a FF camera would mean my APS-C lenses will get relegated to my K-3.

Well... Now that I think about it, that might not be a bad thing, after all they are already tied to the K-3... LOL. I would be worried about the pictures, though, as all my FF lenses, except the M 50mm f/1.7, are probably not good enough to fully appreciate the K-1 sensor... But if I am lucky enough, I'll make do... :-)

This is, anyway, a very generous thing to do by the website and it is very appreciated. Thanks!

I probably won't win but have enjoyed using the forum over the years. I'm not online much, but really like Pentax. It was my aunt's camera of choice many years ago for her nature photography and I have followed in her footsteps. The technology is great for wildlife photography.

Frankly, none of us will probably win, given that there's only one camera per raffle

But if we don't enter, we definitely won't win... So it's a choice between "probably won't / possibly will" and "definitely won't"

Well, that's an absolute and mathematically correct truth! :-)

And then people say Maths has no practical use... ;-)

Cheers!

PS- I'm anxious for my 18-135mm to arrive! Enough ambition for this month!

I'm a bit confused, is this thread the K1 give away?
