Those terrible Russians! Fancy sexist exploitation having survived there.Apart from it being crass sexist exploitation? Not surprised it has survived in Russia, however.
Does that imply that it is no where else to be seen?
The non sexist establishments such as Hooters in Texas and Las Vegas would never be crass. Establishments in Paris, Bangkok and Amsterdam would never have semi naked women on show.
Just thinking about it; it's crass to use the female form to promote camera equipment yet not crass to use camera equipment to promote the female form...

Gwyn, maybe in future, the sponsors and distributors will also see it your way. Once upon a time all shows were. Now it is only dinosaurs who still run shows that way.

Is that the same as saying the Pentax lenses won't work on NIkon?Why go to the expense of not only buying a n***n (expletive deleted), but the additional cost of replacing all your glassware too?

To be fair, Pentax offer better weather sealing at a lower price point - you'd be hard pressed to find a sealed camera costing less than a grand from the other makes.
I absolutely agree, but I didn't buy a D700 for its weather sealing, it has several other qualities that .To be fair, Pentax offer better weather sealing at a lower price point - you'd be hard pressed to find a sealed camera costing less than a grand from the other makes.

Idea 3)
A TV advert... lots of photographers at a film premier... The rain pours... All the toggers run for cover... Beautiful actress arrives by limo - man with K5 puts his jacket over her protectively
"You look beautiful" he says "Can I get a few pictures?"
K5 gets the shot while other toggers look on in vain...
PENTAX K5 - WE DON'T STOP - WE GET THE SHOT
The camera is then shown resting in a puddle in the rain...
Any more ideas?
Only one, do your homework when commenting on other kit. The K5 is Pentax's top DSLR, do you actually believe that top Nikons and Canons are not WR? I've regularly shot my D700 and K7 side by side in the rain.Idea 3)

A classic example was the scene on tv with Ray Mears photographing brown bears with a D700 and 300mm f/2.8 during a torrential downpour.
Indeed, why even start to compare brands?
I use Pentax as I consider their cameras excellent and fit for purpose. The only difference for me is that for some requirements, other brands models and glass are more fit for purpose.

Of course you are entitled to your opinion K10D. I never said you weren't, if I felt that I would have said so.
I simply responded with my opinion but in what was intended to be a light hearted way. Sorry if you thought it was serious, I thought the 'wink' would have indicated otherwise.
My reply was misleading as I now see by your reply. My comment was intended to endorse Gwyns right to an opinion.
