Congratulations, you are a very worthy recipient. If we Pentaxians can do a little something to help others in less fortunate circumstances than ourselves, then I am extremely pleased to be a part of it.

Enjoy the lens.

Thomas,

Let me congratulate you on a very fine thing you have done, Karma will be gracious to you I am sure and I also pray that good things will befall you due to your generosity. Milarmon is a VERY worthy recipient and it is great that the lens is going to him.

I will endeavour to do the same for someone one day.

Gerardo,

You are most welcome and I am sure that the rest of the forum addicts here (me included) sees you as an equal member of the pentax user family.

We are all different and in different situations, but the passion for photography is the same...

I really do not know what to say, will head of for bed soon. But will ship the lens to you monday or tuesday.

I can't help be feel certain the right choice was made. Enjoy your new lens, it is very obvious how much you appreciate it and how fitting it is to see you get the lens.

Once again to Thomas; incredible spirit of giving. Kudos again.

Duplo;

From one LEGO fan to another: you rock, sir. May your generosity be rewarded ten-fold.

Milarmon;

We expect an "LBA" post when you get the lens. Show us Uruguay, please! 8)

So let's have a crack at it. Any thoughts on how to go about
posting this idea to the dpreview crowd in general? I reckon we
could ask the site's owners if they'd be interested in
participating.
