I think everyone is just going to have to accept facebook as the medium of choice for many manufacturers for this sort of thing. I have to say that Pentax USA have a very effective presence.

And why can't I moan about Facebook? I have never ever seen such a completely inane and pointless idea. Why on earth should I find myself bombarded with messages about how some looser I once knew 30 years ago is going to the dentist this afternoon? My wife joined and her experience is more than enough to persuade me that I'd rather stick red hot needles under my nails than sign up.
OK. Rant over. K.

It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera… they are made with the eye, heart and head. Henri Cartier-Bresson
Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Don't have a Facebook page myself, mainly for the reasons outlined above, but it's worth it's weight in gold for my son's business. We estimate around 80% of his work this month has come via Facebook, either directly or indirectly.

Just read the T&Cs.
Can anyone understand what this means? 'All participants agree to a complete release of Facebook.'

Hi everyone,
Just to confirm the main entry mechanic and entire online gallery will be hosted on the Pentax UK Facebook page.
However if you're not on Facebook, the correct e-mail address to send you images to is [email protected]

To celebrate the launch of the new PENTAX K-30 DSLR camera, PENTAX has launched Meet Britain, a nationwide competition asking members of the public to submit images of the things they feel make Britain great.
Entrants can submit images across five different categories:
-Celebrations
-Summer Holidays
-Friends and Family
-Great British Culture
-Great British Outdoors
The best images will then be shortlisted and will feature in an exhibition which will be open to the public in September. One winner from each category will then take home a PENTAX K-30 camera and one overall winner will take home the £1,000 prize fund.
The competition will be open to members of the public until 3rd September 2012 and people can submit their photographs via Meet Britain app on the PENTAX UK Facebook page.
