What the heck?

Well, it's great, guys, it's very strange to me that I've been popularizing the brand for more than two years, I have millions of views of my photos, where it says that I use only Pentax, and K-1 is given to someone in the Lottery.
Where is justice, the Pentax Corporation!?

I think you should be awarded the First Annual Montgomery Burns Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Field of Excellence



While I don;t doubt that you may have done a good job at advertising pentax I don't see the connection with the lottery

Too funny. Pentax forum is not Pentax Corp.

But I can tell you they do pay attention. A few years ago at a Photogrpahy Trade show I introduced myself to one of the reps, and all the sudden people at the booth were shoving cameras in my hands (then the 645D) and insisting I check out the then just released DA 560. They didn't offer to make an Ambassador though, so I guess I'm just not their kind of guy. as in all the Ambassadors I know of are working pros. I'm s just guy who walks around taking pictures.)

It may appear they aren't paying attention, but they do more than people think they are. As far as i can tell the Pentax Ambassadors are picked from high profile Pentax photographers. Stay high profile and maybe you've got a shot.

I don’t get what your talking about. Pentax should give you a camera because you shoot with Pentax? It says you are a professional. I have no idea who you are and have not seen any articles by you touting the benefits of shooting Pentax. So why should Pentax give you a camera. Buy one like everyone else. Being a professional you should be able to afford to purchase your own.

Because he wants one?
Personally, I think Pentax should've given me a camera as well. Me and about 10,000 other Pentax shooters.
When you spend as much time as I do explaining what a "Pentax" is, you should get something besides great pictures.

If I shot Canon or Nikon, people would just say "Of course you do." They look at my Pentax and say "What the hell is that?" When you buy into Pentax, you commit to a life of answering questions.

Oh! I get it! It is not another mindless rant. It is supposed to make me grin and laugh.



I am so glad that is clear and the laughter did me good. Very funny photos, BTW.

(...at least I think it was laughter...it might have been gas...)

It's an area of concern at my age to be sure.
But it's also a life long thing. I make so many mistakes in a single line, usually a few typos get by me.
I survive because of the tolerance of the forum, and people's abilities to understand what I'm saying even though I can't figure out some of it myself.

I've honestly had posts I went back a few days later, and wondered what i was trying to say.

But bottom line, they all count towards the post total, legible or not.

If I'd taken typing in HS, I wouldn't have been eligible to go to university. I took Latin instead. And I can still count to five in Latin.
