I think if you were to apply and told them that you had a K-5 they would be happy (just as much if you said you had a D3x, D2x, etc).

Personally, I wouldn't apply for a job of that nature without knowing what they were paying and there is nothing in the job advert to indicate that.

Suppose you only have a Leica M9

Can't see the job lasting long anyway, there will probably
only be a handful of hotels to photograph
Half Man... Half Pentax ... Half Cucumber

Pentax K-1 + K-5 and some other stuff

Hmm. Maybe they have a rental/service agreement for lenses which only includes Canon & Nikon?

Having just spent about 5 minutes on their site it's one of these irritating websites that quickly sends me looking elsewhere in frustration anyway. Since they apparently decided to make their site annoying for their customers I'm guessing their reasons for making any other odd decisions could be pretty arbitrary and unfathomable.

They even had the supreme condescension to mark the 'close' button on their pop up 'offer' demanding you enter your email address, 'No thanks, I don't like saving money'. How about 'No thanks, I don't like giving my email address to an organization who has offered me no indication whatsoever that they won't fill up my inbox with irrelevant spam'?

That advert has been doing the rounds of free sites like Gumtree for a very long time.
