HI All
Great to see some dedicated PENTAX resources. I have loved them since i bought the Optio MX4 (what a funky point and shoot). I just kept with them when i gradually got more and more into taking pics...never been disappointed and they have some of the finest glass (love 'em Limiteds)

I am an expat Scottish guy living and working in Houston, teaching myself to take photos that i would appreciate. I am only learning and the more I learn the more i admire the talents of top-flight photographers...its the technique and the artistry combined....i can only be envious at their talent and try my best. Anyhow i love the process and take great pleasure from my hobby, which is the most important thing.

I am going to take a bold step soon and i am doing my first wedding in June for a friend, I hope to hell that I don't muck it up! Wish me luck!

Glad to have found y'all
