I have a question for the Pentax User experts: why, do you think, does the "Make" ALWAYS show up blank in EXIF on this site, and why does the "Model" ALWAYS show up as "...mcompany Ltd."? I have spent hours trying to resolve this issue, with no luck.
This is an ancient thread about asking Pentax themselves while your query is about a problem with this site.
I've checked one of my photos in the gallery such as: https://www.pentaxuser.com/photo/comp-693/grosmont-to-york-97160 which was taken on a K-S1 and you'll see the exif shows fine.
As the actual exif on your K-S2 images looks fine too it seems its getting misread somehow by the site's software that shows it. (I can see what you mean and see it as you describe on your gallery images.)
Suggest you use the 'report problem' button at the bottom of every page from one of your affected gallery images so the site team can investigate it for you. My presumption is that your image processing software has changed something when it re-saves the exif that confuses the site. But how or why I've no idea!

(Other camera shops are available)
the 645 series are Medium Format
The K1 is the only camera with a sensor of equivqlent size of 35mm.
The remainder are APS-C like the former Pentax K20D.

My question why does the pentax server drop the connection so often, ie go to the 2nd page of a thread then try to go back to the first and I get the serching for connection symbol going round and round. It is often quicker to come out of the pentaxuser page and log in again.
Never, ever, experienced that with PU. Sounds like a problem with the connection at your end or with your ISP. Is that via a landline or mobile?

Both but I've ususally got nothing better to do than "watch paint dry" so not a massive problem just browse other sites instead, facebook etc.
