Hi all! Photographic Newbie!

Just really started with photography after many years of compacts! My Father and Grandfather were serious photographers but I never really got into it until recently......

So, cameras......

I have a Pentax K200 DSLR which I think is a very good beast indeed, due to being a Msc student I haven't really had time to learn how to use it properly but the results even with the default settings have been really good.

I also have inherited an old Pentax Spotmatic F with a few lenses...... Just sent off a roll of film as an experiment today......!!! See what happens!

I also have a Panasonic Lumix and a Canon Powershot compacts...

Cheers!
K5, K200 and several film Pentax cameras!

Hello. I've got a K200 as well, and have been really pleased with the results, as you say even out of the box (which some reviews were critical of) with a 25 year old 50mm lens they were very good.

Hola Scott!

Don't worry, I'm still a bit of a newbie too (only been using DSLR's for a year now, and compared to some people here, that definitely makes me a newb!) - still learning lots, and this forum has been a great place for help - I'm sure it will be the same for you too!!!
