Hello from North Yorkshire
Hi Simon, Hope you are well, I knew you had moved on from Panasonic ( I still keep a G6). I moved back to Pentax a couple of years ago with a K5. Great forum here and the pentax gear is excellent. ( Still have my original K 1000) but it hasn't seen light of day for some time. Welcome. Pete

Hi from Ashford
Hi, I have owned the K-r for 3 years now and extended my kit back in March with Sigma's 150-500mm to really help with my wildlife and Aviation shots. I just won the weekly "Reflection" competition on here so thought i'd better introduce myself....

Hey all, my name is Drago i just joined the forum, although i've read a hundred topics for the past year and a half, when i decided to by my first DSLR. I had some little experience with canon 500d and nikon d5000, but there was something missing, i didn't felt that any of those cameras are for me, ...

...though how long for, depends... A few months back I was walking past our local branch of CashConvertors, and in the window they had a k100d with kit lens for £149. Interesting, I thought and when I got home got onto the laptop and started Googling. As you all know, it's only 6MP (and it was...

Welcome back. The K20D is a bit of a brick, but it is a good camera. Have fun playing with it. St Aines Upon Thames? My birthplace!

St Aines Upon Thames? My birthplace! That's the one - we were trying to upgrade the name before they just tacked Upon Thames on the end. :wink:

I've never felt the inclination to put my Pentax, or anything similar on a set of scales, but whenever I pick my K-5iis up and compare its 'feel in the hand' to its counterparts from Canikon they ALWAYS feel light and flimsy in comparison. That's not to make any comment about the quality of the ...

Hello and welcome back :D I prefer the weight and handling of the k10 to the k5 :)

Hello and welcome back :D I prefer the weight and handling of the k10 to the k5 :) I always found my k10 a bit heavy and prefer the k5. Mind you in some ways I prefer the k10 handling and layout but there is always going to be a compromise to an extent. My super a was a lot lighter but it didn'...

Depending on how I get on with it, my next problem will be to decide what 'kit' lens to go for. A good choice would be the Pentax SMC DA 18-135mm weather resistant zoom. If you don't mind manual and want a good but cheaper option, get the Pentax-M (or A) 28mm from e.g. eBay, to take along with ...

The A 35-105mm is a very sharp and versatile lens ... certainly better than a lot of the newer offerings. If you can run to the extra outlay the 16-45mm f4 is sharper/wider than the kit lens and not that much more expensive (used), especially considering the better IQ.

I left when I was 6 weeks old. I grew up in an on Thames, not upon Thames. I did get married in St Aines though, at your Saints church next the Thames.:wink:

A quick update. Turned out that a number of my old K lenses produced bad colour fringing. Still one or two to check though. Anyway, those nice people at SRS sold me a DA-L 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 AL for not very much at all. And a month or so later a DA-L 50-200mm F4-5.6 ED AL WR Lens for a price I ...

Two potentials -- Pentacon f3.5/30mm Helios f2/ 58mm (not the 55) The first is a staggeringly sharp wide angle in M42, although it can behave almost like a macro if you want. The second can go the other way and will produce crops to rival a 200mm prime - it is usually found in M39 mount for whi...
