Originally posted by jjeling So, here is a ? I have had for sometime. What is the point in trying to get images accepted into the Pentax Photo Gallery? I have my own thoughts and ideas, but really want to hear what some of the other people here have to say about this. Let the talk begin, Thanks.
I had the same ? for some time. I had a few photos accepted initially, although my lenses were not SMCs. Nevertheless, I tried with a large number of images to get some more accepted to no avail so I withdrew the images and retired to lick my wounds! I still tried to make sense of this, and reach a sensible conclusion.
My camera was a few models out of date, my lenses not even Pentax, and any images from this equipment would not help Pentax, even if they were good enough. The boys from Canon and Nikon would like to see this pesky competitor out of the way, but it kept hanging in there with amazing cameras and lenses. As a loyal user of Pentax equipment for more than 30 years, I understand that the Pentax Gallery needs to help the cause by showcasing the recent equipment, and helping users find , for example, which lens will suit them. I appreciate that Pentax has had to use this strategy, it has been useful for me several times, I now have later equipment and some newer Pentax lenses, and I remain a loyal Pentax user.
