Hello from Utah, USA

Hello All,
New member and long time Pentax user here - here is a picture of a little part of my collection.

I'm from the UK originally, now live in Utah, USA. I count myself lucky to live in such a photogenic part of the world - I'm looking forward to a trip to Sedona in a couple of weeks, where in addition to my K-1ii / KP, it think I'll take my 6x7 along for a little workout.

Cheers!

Hello and welcome. Mind if that's a "little part of my collection" I hate to think how big the whole is

My answer would be 'not big enough'. My wife's answer may differ somewhat

Welcome to the forum - that looks like a great collection, drool-worthy even

Welcome! I bought my first Pentax, a Spotmatic, while I was working for a year in Salt Lake City in the 1960s. You are right to comment on the photogenic opportunities all over that area of the USA.
A few of my photographs in flickr.
Lizars 1910 "Challenge" quarter-plate camera; and some more recent stuff.

Thanks all! I'll have to add a picture of the camera room at some point

pschlute - not pictured is a like-new ME-F and lens in original boxes - a lucky find. All works as well, which is getting less common as they age.

OldTaffy - I bet the place has changed a little since then! The South West really is photogenic - here's a relatively recent one from a road-trip to our place in Sedona last year. K-1ii and 70-210mm

Well, heading towards two rooms now

Here's an inventory of my Takumar lenses i did recently - just the ones in cases, not on bodies... I did not put the big guns on the table in case it collapsed

I think this guy is a Pentax user. Welcome to a good place to be.
Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass

Your introduction might be a bit easier if you just listed both the Pentax items you haven't got


Welcome aboard

Welcome, serious collector you are! I feel easier now knowing I don't have a problem with my collection, as minute it is in comparison.
