bummer - either awaken at 3am PDT or skip time at work. Guess I'm out this month.

bummer II - deep camping the last days of July, so guess I'm out twice.

Looking at your activity over the past day (>300 posts) this seems plausible to me.

Looking back I appear to have posted 206... 207 now and climbing this month. Not a huge number compared to some people, but respectable I'd say.

My wife and I talked about this over dinner {she double-majored in Chem and Physics so she understands technical stuff}. She wanted me to know that I could purchase a KP {the camera that would best meet my needs} even if Adam were to give me a K-1. We decided that I should refrain from posting to one of the "raffle" threads, because that would put me in the way of someone who really wanted it.

Now this is a perfect example of how things should be.

well said

I cannot afford a K-1 so this would be a god send to an amateur photographer like me.

Amoon · 06-30-2018, 12:09 AM

Wow... it would be great to own a K-1... of course, that means new lenses for the bigger sensor but what the heck!

OoKU · 06-30-2018, 12:13 AM

coming

the coming new lenses will be fab. but I think a lot of the older lenses, with careful selection, will still perform very well

Do not give a free K-1 to someone who already owns one or three. Does not make any sense. This should be chance for those who cannot afford one easily.

thibs · 06-30-2018, 01:07 AM

Agreed.

krazykat · 06-30-2018, 01:21 AM

Yep, I won't be entering. I've already got a K-1 which I love. I hope someone who wouldn't normally be able to get one wins.

Kieubas · 06-30-2018, 01:38 AM

Hello to all, I'm new to this forum. I do not have K1, but I disagree. What happens if someone makes better use of two K1's than a guy who keeps this great camera on the shelf all the time. I think we can't measure who deserves to win more. BTW I think this time I'm out of competition, I've been reading this forum for many years without registration, yesterday I saw the info about this raffle and I decided to join. I posted welcoming post yesterday, but I think it's not enough. Definitely I will try my luck next time
