I came across Pentax User by accident a couple of weeks ago whilst "googling" for information because I was wanted to purchase a DSLR which took my old lenses as well as new ones. A kind chap in the US (not someone from this site but has his own) advised me that Pentax would suit and I decided on a Pentax K20D.

However I am not at all experienced even with our SLR (Pentax) so this site is perfect for me
