Interesting Question, Butch. When I do a shot with my *ist D, I may be using a Tokina, Sigma or Tamron lens (if not a Pentax). The image will be recorded on a sensor from SONY. The light haven't really "touched" anything made by Pentax. Still, I can post it a Pentax shot, right? Well, according to the PUG rules either body or lens must be from Pentax: "Submissions must have been made using Asahi/Pentax camera equipment. Third party equipment is welcome if it is Pentax compatible, and either the body or lens is Asahi/Pentax". So, if you put a Pentax lens on a Samsung body - or vise versa - it's OK with the current PUG rules. If new rules are to be applied, I'd suggest that only a Pentax lens can be used for the PUG.

The *istDL2 offers a couple of extra focus points, a few new scene modes and a couple of bits of silver plastic (where the DL was all-black). Looking at the spec the DL2 appears to be the Pentax version of the Samsung GX-1S, announced earlier this month, and may be an indication of the intention to sell the future cameras as Pentax branded in some markets and Samsung cameras in others (namely Europe and the US). Time to play devil's advocate. If this is true will we allow users of these Samsung "clones" to enter the monthly PUG? Butch
