Hi all,

I've just joined up as I've finally bought my first Pentax. I've been shooting with a Samsung NX30 for a year or so, but using Pentax lenses with an adapter. Today however, the postman has just delivered my K-1

All I need now if for the cloud to lift so I can get out and try it!

Regards,

Warren

Welcome. No starting at the bottom and working your way up. Dive right in at the top.
I hope you stay with us and enjoy your K1.
CHEERS Vic.
PS. I worked for Z.Brierley in Llandudno Junction for 29 years and often travelled across Anglesey to get the ferry to Dublin.

Born again biker with lots of Pentax bits. Every day I wake up is a good day. I'm so old I don't even buy green bananas.

Congratulations on your purchase. Anglesey has many attractions to put it to good use.
Raf Valley for one. ✈✈👍

I reside South West of you a few miles from Llangollen

I hope you enjoy your K1 and don't suppose you will need to cross one of the bridges too often in search of photo opportunities

Hi all, and thanks for the welcome! Yes, we've certainly got plenty of opportunities here for photography. We had the Flying Scotsman passing through today, but I missed it due to work. My main reason for getting the K-1 was for astrophotography and photographing the Aurora Borealis but I'll need to wait for the nights to start drawing in to really explore its capabilities. Firstly though, I need to figure out why the astrotracer doesn't seem to work....????

Hi all

My name is Don from Oakville, Ontario, Canada I have been shooting with a Pentax K5 for a few years but just bought a 120-400mm lens yesterday in order to do wildlife photos. Any suggestions or help is always appreciated?

I'm located just about on the Lleyn Peninsula, so not too far away.
