Because you like rain?

Just sort of joking as we loved our 5 weeks in Scotland last May and would love to go back.

Why only 21+

Gotta love how everyone make sure that people from the province of Quebec feel part of that beautiful country that Canada is.*

*Yeah, I'm a little pissed that corporations so often exclude Quebec on contests because it's "too much trouble" to comply to the laws here. (Just freaking pay someone, or ask someone at Ricoh France (or someone that works in one of the 3 Ricoh offices in Montreal (Qc)) to translate the rules and conditions and be done with it Ricoh...)

Rant over. Too busy packing my stuff to move to Ontario for a chance not to win a K-1.

That is brilliant marketing.. get hundreds, if not thousands, of customer testimonials and photos to further use to market and advertise the brand for the cost of 1 K-1 kit.

I wonder if it is a contest or a random drawing from the pool of entrants? The guy with the really dirty Pentax camera sort of already wins it in my book if it is a contest with Pentax durability in mind. And he pretty much said what I was going to say.. doh.

they haven't built the camera that would lure me to America :-)

This was asked:
Zach Henderson Will the winner be chosen at random, or by the quality of the photo and essay?

Ricoh Imaging By the quality of the photo + essay

**jpzk** · 02-19-2016, 07:51 PM

Of course .... my luck : "Excluding Québec".

That is pretty much how it goes for all "contests".
We're the bad guys in this country.

Ack guy who took the photo of Times Square NYC in the blizzard (With his GR) seems to be trying (in the wrong place) to add his picture. I suspect competition is going to be super stiff.. might sit this one out.

I can't enter competition for give-away of the new Pentax K-1 DSLR, because I'm in England, UK.
Everyone is getting excited, including myself.
What do I do now please?
