Well, that's a shame, Mee.
I of course don't buy arguments about lack of hosting (we have free galleries here), compromising privacy (put up shots that aren't confidential), breaching commercial contracts (put up shots that are already part of a portfolio, or even better, shot for yourself instead of for someone else) or that pictures are subjective in nature (aren't dozens of posts contradicting fellow members also opinions?).
I don't always agree with Canon owner Dan Rentea on this forum but from the shots he's posted I can see he finds nature joyous and loves in general this great hobby of ours. So, quibbles aside, he is a technical tog, seems a cool guy, and I eagerly read his posts.
When someone argues with Dan, I always hope it's an informed opinion, and it's not from an Armchair Expert, who has expensive lenses sitting on a shelf, reads DPR discussions daily and every now and again takes a flower picture in the backyard.
Talk is cheap, and I'd trust six photos by somebody more than sixty of their posts. :)

It's amazing how far we have come with ultra-wides. In the film days 15mm lenses were expensive and incredibly rare, now you can get a good performing 14mm Samyang for a few hundred dollars.
Even though I am not totally sold on how wide spread they have become. As you go wider you get bucket loads of distortion and perspective starts to get weird. Ordinary landscapes with these lenses show lots of sky and little detail, and I think they are often used for novelty/convenience when stitching together several shots taken at 20+mm would have delivered a better panoramic feel (a trivial task in digital development). There are some really good shots involving scenes where only this kind of ultra-wide will deliver, but like fisheyes I feel that the results are something that really work with the subject being shot, or just don't.

The KP only has an AF/AE-lock button, not two separate buttons like the flagships...
