Your shot that you showed which was accepted is a pretty new shot so I don't think it is because of the change in accepting shots of many cameras and lenses that took place not too long ago.

Perhaps it was a reviewer erring on the side of caution but on one of the shots there is a serial # visible and some other markings that could identify the maker.

but what about when the new uploaded photos can be seen, even the manufacturer, this is not a violation?

The first two image #'s that you gave are older shots that were approved before the changes in what was acceptable happened. SHutterstock has been removing images that were once accepted but now are not allowed.

The last two image #'s that you gave me are no longer available so I cannot see them.

It is not that it is ok for one person and not another but policies change and images are no longer acceptable and they begin to clean out the ones that were previously approved.

If you want a more specific answer then you can write to them at submit@shutterstock.com and see if they will give you a more complete answer. But, camera equipment is not really something that is being accepted any longer so I would move on to photographing something else that is ok.

Cameras are off limits and have been for awhile now.

Same answer in your other post.

Also it looks easily recognisable so that too is a reason.

All you will achieve by posting these is getting other contributors work removed, which will not help you.
