New K-R owner
I have just today bought my K-R. My first ever SLR. My previous camera was a Canon S2 IS, which i loved and was hoping to use for my photography course i am attending. However the CCD has failed on that one. I did actually borrow the display K-R from the store where i work, back in July, to take s...

Hi from Chorley, Lancs
Hello everyone, I first started SLR photography when I was a teenager, 30 years ago. Back then I managed to earn enough to buy something from Dixons instead of just looking in the windows. A Chinon I think it was, other choices could have been a Ricoh or a Praktica; a Pentax K1000 was just a drea...

Hello from the Cotswolds
Hello there. I've just joined as a Pentax User Plus, although I first found the website a while ago and bought some excellent magazines from it before they stopped being printed. I first started SLR photography in 1978, and my very first camera was a fantastic second hand Pentax SV, complete with ...

Born again photographer.....
Hi all, Started off with s/h Cosina CT-1 back in the early 80s. Progressed through Pentax ME Super, then SFX-n before giving it all up. Wife bought me a Sony super zoom a few years back, which lead me back into SLR photography and a Pentax K-x twin lens kit a year ago. Still take rubbish ph...

Hello from West Sussex
Vic, I have not maintained my website for two years (!!). However, you can see some of my images . I have to say that astronomical photography is interesting, but it is a little too tricky at times! Tracking and focus are particular issues. I am taking a break form it at the moment to photogr...

Hi another noob, Pentax K-x with Kit 18-55 DAL
Welcome to the forums! Best tip I can give you is to spend time with your camera. Become a weekend photographer! Every week set a place you go to and bring your camera with you. Take different photos of these places! Since you went with Pentax (lucky you), I recommend that you buy a Manual Focus ...

Recently joined and some inherited gear
It would appear that the (incorrectly referenced?)"Contax Zeiss" 28mm F2.8 lens could actually be an East German "Carl Zeiss Jena" lens (like this one: http://www.flickr.com/photos/horizon616/3117636445/). If it is then it is NOT a Cosina product, but a "genuine" East German lens from the same stabl...

Welcome Alex. I've come back to Pentax DSLRs after a year with Canon. This is a great forum to be part of, and it certainly taught me a lot about photography when i first joined. Stick to the 2 year warranty.

Thank you for the welcome Col , thanks for SRS link but while waiting for them to get back to me with a part-ex price for my Contax gear I have missed that amazing price £659 including the cashback.

The K5 will give you more bangs for your buck than any other camera on the market. I paid nearly £1200 last year for the twin lens kit. Seems a lot now. I wouldnt have missed the last 12 months with my K5 for a trifling few hundred quid though :?. It really is comparable to the Canon 7D and t...

New user and ready to learn more about my K10d
Hi John, I too looked at your Picasa photos. Amazing pictures of Yangshou, China. I did almost the same trip there backpacking about 20 years ago. One of the most atmospheric places I've ever been. It brought back a lot of memories, thanks. I spent quite a while in S.Korea. No-one ever goes there,...

I'm new to Pentax
Hi all. I've only recently come across this forum when researching what camera to buy. I've just ordered the K5 twin kit after spending the last couple of weeks mulling over which brand to go with. I was looking at the D7000 and 60D as well as the K5. The K5 ticked more boxes for me. I was l...

Welcome to the forum! I have a K-5 with the 17-70 too. It is my main lens. I bought the 18-125 as a travel lens but I still keep coming back to my 17-70. I also have a 60-250* and a Bigma, both of which get used for landscapes too. I would wait a while before buying anything else, until you k...
