Am I Missing Something

I have just been looking through the latest Digital SLR Photography (march 2011), and there is a section called Creative Eye in association with Pentax. where three photographers have to create a stunning image using an everyday object. Six pages are taken up with the Pentax logo in top right hand corner by three photographers all using Canon equipment with the seventh page being ask to make the most of your creative eye using a Pentax K-5.

Am i missing something.

Have to see if I can get one copy of DSLR Photographer. Sounds somewhat odd that you can use any other equipment then Pentax.
Have you read through the T&C's. It usually states what can be used. I would be surprised if you can use Canon but then again it may be against competition law to specifically exclude a certain brand.
Seems strange

It's nice to be nice!

Pentax K-5 with D-GB4 Grip, to many lenses to mention by now (serious LBA by now), TC's, Lowepro Slingshot 300 AW, Manfrotto 028 & Redsnapper RS-283 with various Heads plus various Camera Clamps (I collect them). Pentax AF 360FGZ, Pentax AF 240FT, several Metz 45 CT-1 & 5 with stands and 'Blow Up' Soft Boxes, Flash Triggers, and various Macro gear.

It's not a competition it's just to see what can be produced using everyday objects and what equipment was used.

Nobody at Pentax asked me to shoot one.....
so if they're willing to settle for second rate photographers, they might as well let some canon shooters in.
lol!
Fired many shots. Didn't kill anything.

Hm, strange one unless they want to have a 'real life' comparison?
Will have a look in WH Smith next time I am in there.

It's a photo gallery / challenge section, and it just happens that it is sponsored by Pentax.

An example of the new marketing drive.

This is something new for me or I do not understand it "Focal Length: 2600/100mm"
I know a 100mm but what means the 2600?
