Just signed up. My name is Brian and I live on the Costa Blanca, retired and hoping to re-enter the Pentax fold. My father was a Pentax fan and I have an old M 50 plus a Finepix HS 20 EXR (I'll wash my mouth out!). I'm looking for a second hand K20D. I think this will fill my needs and pocket. I look forward to posting and creating a gallery and also to getting to know some of you better.

Welcome to the forum and good luck with the K20D hunt. I think they're pretty easy to find online, I've even seen some for sale secondhand in Spain.

Thanks for your welcomes. I live ina small town called Benissa, about 10km from the sea and 300m above sea level. No electricity, solar panels and generator and if there is no rain, as has happened this year, water is delivered as necessary. Never bored!!

Thanks Stuey, In what part of Wales do you live? I used to live in Pembrokeshire and was in the Pembrokeshire/Dyfed ambulance service for 10 years.
