Well, @red5isalive, looks like Pentax became interested in your motorsport shots!

Congratulations, mate!
Haha you are right! Thank you 🙂
Not big deal as there was no money deal, but hey, it's cool 🙂
Let's see if that brings anything else in the future.

Hey!! That's great!! Your photos are the perfect showcase for Pentax's action photography capabilities. What a great video, too! Looks like maybe they're starting to learn how to market their products. I'm curious, did you give them your photos you took when you borrowed the lens or did they get them from your Flickr or website?
Anyway, that's a huge win for you and I hope it leads to more recognition and great opportunities for you! In my opinion they would be fools not to make you a brand ambassador!

Hehe thank you.
Well it's such a story.
So they guys borrowing me the lens were Pentax Spain.
And those guys from the video are Pentax Europe. So those ones made the video out of my instagram photos I believe, I don't remember sending them any pictures.
I do usually tag Pentax in my images and publications there (in Instagram).
They first approached me with the idea of this video, sent it to me for revision and once I have given them the OK they just published it.
After the video we have started chatting about their opportunities in the sport field as they told me they'd like to start getting recognizion there. For example sponsoring cars or even bringing gear to be borrowed in a racetrack so other professionals (well other, I am not one xD) can test the products,
Nothing about me, nor about an ambassador job. I'm not sure i'd like this either, you need to go do some speaches to an audience from time to time and I usually don't like this. So not sure.
But yes they can borrow me as much material as they want 😛
I simply don't know what the future will bring, neither what ideas do they have about this topic. I will sit and wait 😛
Oh about the Pentax Spain guys: yes I send them some photos in exchange to they borrowing me the lens. I did also when they borrowed me the K3-III for 3 races (Formula E Monaco 2021, WTCR Aragon 2021 and 24H of Barcelona Motorbikes), so this time I have also sent them some pics. I thought is a way to express my gratitude.
