Hello!

Just signed up so thought I better say hello.

I can't think why I haven't joined before now as I've been a 'Pentaxian' ever since I was old enough to pick up my father's S1a and I still use the 55mm Super Takumar lens from it to this day. The first Pentax I actually bought was a new A3, which I still have. I used this until I went digital with an *istDL2 when they first came out.

I currently use a K20D and my old *istDL2 with DA 16-45, 18-55 and 55-300 lenses, but still enjoy using the older K and screw mount film gear. In fact the digital gear rekindled my interest in film and has led to the acquisition of various M series bodies and a rather battered but useable example of a black S1a that started me off

Most of my photography tends to revolve around cars and motorsport but I enjoy wildlife and other subjects too when the opportunity arises.


Simon.

Thanks for the welcome guys. Still finding my way around but it already looks like this place is going to be another big distraction from getting any work done

Welcome. Do what I did, give up work. Photography is too important for minor distractions.
