Hi Everyone

Glad to have joined! & probably in the minority here because I still shoot slide film in Pentax KX & KM Bodies which have recently been serviced by Harrow Technical.
Still a Delight to use & performing 100% after all these years!
Like to do everything manually & that includes using a handheld meter.
Love to shoot views of the River Crouch which is a short walk from home & love Wildflowers & Fungi especially!
Lenses, Well, All from ebay which include a 50mm 1.4, 28mm 2.8 Sigma 90mm macro & 75-150 zoom by Pentax.
Anyway, Have a Great Christmas & Hoping you will get that new camera or lens that was on your wishlist! Alan.
Pentax KM & KX ( 1975-1977 )
50mm 1.4 M, 28mm 2.8 Ricoh, Sigma 90mm Macro, Pentax 75-150 zoom, 200mm F4.

Welcome to the forum Alan, don't worry about shooting film or slide, a lot on here are still doing that as well as using digital.

I don't have a KX or KM, but do have a K1000 which I hope to use when the weather gets better.
Cheers, HG

K110+DA40, K200+DA35, K3 and a bag of lenses, bodies and other bits.

Mustn't forget the Zenits, or folders, or...

PPG entries.
