Welcome Jim - perhaps we'll bump into each other on the hills one weekend - I'll be lugging a K5IIS and too many lenses around.

Just a quick note to introduce myself...
I'm a 38 year old Energy Manager, originally from Sutton Coldfield to the north east of Birmingham, but moved to the Malverns in Worcestershire 7 years ago - mainly due to my love for the outdoors and hill walking. I've been wanting to take photography more seriously for a while and a 2 week road trip across Europe earlier this year gave me the perfect excuse to take the plunge...
I've had a K-5 II for the past six months having never owned a digital SLR before (owned an Olympus film SLR many moons ago). Reasons for choosing Pentax are the heritage of the brand and the fact that these days it appears to be a bit of an underdog in comparison to the likes of Nikon and Canon (and I quite like that!). Most importantly, I felt far more comfortable with the K5 in my hands than cameras of similar price from other brands.
Inexplicably, I appear to be having a massive amount of fun hunting down old legacy lenses and I'm looking forward to expanding my lens collection with some more bargain basement K, M and possibly the odd M42 lens in due course! At the moment I can only dream of owning one of the 'limited' lenses - my motivation is that I'll only allow myself to get one of those when my technique has progressed to a point when I can truly make the most of it!
Cheers,
Jim
