The Pentax Discussion Mailing List (PDML) is an e-mail mailing list that Pentax provides to the public. Anything Pentax, most things photographic, and a lot of other stuff besides, gets discussed there. These links are to the sites of the people involved in the list. The older messages are collected into archives . |
||
| The Pentax User's Gallery (PUG) photo gallery site dedicated to photographers using Pentax equipment. Details of upcoming themes are available on the PUG Submissions Page . | ||
| The PDML FAQ (care of Ralf Stubner, who recently finished his Diplomarbeit at the Univeristy of Erlangen [Germany], so let's give him a big hand and send over a few steins of pils). | ||
| Valentin Donisa has created a directory of the Web pages of many of the members of the mailing list (if you have trouble with that link, the mirror of the directory is here ). Actually, it appears that Valentin's going a bit mad these days, adding a "Lens Gallery" (see below) to his web site, and collecting the humor of the PDML in the Photo Humor Page . | ||
| Dan Klimovich has created a Who's Who on PDML portrait gallery (or "family album") for the PDML with photos of a lot of the regular members of the mailing list. | ||
| Penta Magazine is also from Dan Klimovich . It provides both English and Russian language information, news, and press releases, on all things Pentax . | ||
| Peter Farkas' Formula 1 Page | ||
| Stan Halpin has generously scoured all of the archives of the PDML and posted the organized the PDML Users Comments on Lenses web site. | ||
