Hi all just joined Pentax user and very pleased to be here. Ive been into photography for a long while mostly landscape architecture and also railways and aviation. I work for an emergency service so i find photography a nice way to unwind. I been wanting to upgrade for a while i had Canon EOS 600d and wanted something a bit more appealing so i saw a Pentax K3!! and read lots of good things about it so purchased one and very happy with it. Im yet to go out and spend a day with it so any tips would be great as still getting to know all the ins and outs of it.

Hope to speak to some of you in near future but for now best wishes, stay safe and well.

Hi and welcome Mark, the K-3 is a superb camera, I've had mine since they came out and would not part with it.

Hope you find the site useful and interesting.
