Certainly in years gone by there were a lot of people earning a living using Pentax kit.
I am assuming that you mean famous Pro photographers?
Best regards
I don't think many high ranking pros use Pentax DSLRs (for day to day work anyway, they may still own Pentax kit) although I think Pentax medium format is popular.
There are lots of Pentax pro photographers, but in the end it doesn't matter what camera they used at any particular time. Whatever it was, they knew what they were doing and they were great photographers.
Indeed John.
Looking at the market for used Pentax equipment which is huge, there will be many of those people who shoot professionally.
Best regards

If so Sebastião Salgado is probably the greatest living B&W photographer. I think he started with a Spotmatic and then MX..... then Leica and onto a Pentax 645 and lately 645D
This was his first attempt at landscapes and animals link
He had to carry a solar panel charger with him to charge the 645D batteries up on that trip.
His homepage:

You have to look under Essays for the photographs i.e.

Sorry again about the B&W and his liking for the Tri-X look... they don't look that good on a computer, much better as 6ft high prints
Pentax K-1 + K-5 and some other stuff

moved over to Canon FF, but will she come back to a 645D.
She might even be a (past) member on here
Well worth a look at her flickr and 500px sites

Ben Kanerek is still a member here but seems to have given up posting here. Several other members are professionals too of course.
Joe McNally has used Pentax, though again I don't know if he still does.
I was just thinking out aloud.
Thinking back to when I was at Uni we nearly all had Pentax cameras or aspired to Pentax ownership.
Nowadays it all seems to be Canikon.

and I always enjoy looking through Chris Willson's blog and galleries - he posts on here occasionally too. He used to use a Pentax 67 but now uses a 645D:

Both pretty inspirational IMO

If you type "Pentax" into the search box it shows 385 photos taken on Pentax gear.

How many pro photographers who have regularly used Pentax cameras can you name?
I've had a wee think and can name 3 certainties.
David Bailey,
Terence Donovan
Sam Haskins.
Anyone for anymore?
