Welcome Matt,
You mention that: 'The sad thing is that I've never seen a photographer using a Pentax DSLR, let alone a *cough* Samsung!'
Well I'm in Cambridge so not so far away from you in Saffron Walden and I use one!

I did a little experiment in Dorset in the summer, by not-very-scientifically counting up what different brands of SLR people were using when I noticed them (there were a lot about as it was the folk festival). I expected to see a massive bias towards Canon and Nikon but was pleasantly surprised to see Pentax holding their own and even a couple of Samsung - quite a few people using film SLRs as well, where Pentax seemed to be positively in the majority...

Matt,
Another GX20 pentax user (cough cough).
I scuttle about as unobtrusively as possible.
Saffron W is a hot bed with you and https://www.pentaxuser.com/user/thoughton-9122 .
Perhaps there should be a Pentax/Samsung User forum strap band? A bit like a masonic handshake.
Regards
Doug

It's OK guys, Samsung DSLR Users don't have to be unobtrusive!

I've been using the forum for a few days now and found it very useful and extremely friendly
As a GX20 user I'm wondering if there are many of us on here? "Samsung" and "GX20" don't return many results using the search function.
The sad thing is that I've never seen a photographer using a Pentax DSLR, let alone a *cough* Samsung!
Apart from the fact that I bought my GX20 un-used for under £400, the compatability with Pentax K-mount glass made it very appealing.
