Good luck!

I'm not allowed to enter (not that I probably would have done anyway :wink but good luck to those who do take part.
I hope there are lots of entries from Pentax Users!

Why not

It's for people who are UK based only I'm afraid.

This was not a decision made by us.....

Nevermind Chris! Hopefully others on the forum will have a go .

It may be because Ricoh will do the same in every major country they sell in ... imagine if applicants were allowed to enter 3 photos into every one

Good prize for someone. Sadly it will not be me.

I'd love to see a pic of the camera though.

Hi Chris,

Looking at the T&Cs, I see no restrictions on PP such as cloning out unwanted items etc.

Are there explicit or implicit rules on this?

Hi Dave,

There are no rules regarding this - the only stipulation is that images are taken on a Pentax / Ricoh camera.

Well I'm in so fingers crossed

Good luck to everyone who enters

I notice that each individual image JPEG can't be more than 2.5Mb so i suppose this restriction in itself may well limit the amount of PP that can be carried out. Using a K-50 my typical image sizes at full JPEG quality are between 6 - 7Mb, even basic PP like altering the contrast/brightness increases this figure.

I have to say it's an imaginative use of the Pentax advertising/marketing budget...probably quite cost effective too when you consider how little exposure about £1000 would buy using traditional ad media.

Who won this in the end and what was the winning photo? Cheers.

We're still waiting for the final decision from Mr Takahashi.

I've chased this morning and am hopeful we will be able to announce within 7 days....

Thanks Chris. I hadn't missed it then!
