Welcome 
I too still have some K mount lenses from my film days, it's one of the things that Pentax got right that keeps most of us hooked.

Welcome to the forum - you are right that this is a good place for advice. Do you still have all 6 Pentax DSLR's? If so why? It's great to have a backup but 5 backups seems a bit excessive!

Hello and welcome to the forum.
I suppose I'm also lucky to live in rural Perthshire.
Best regards

Six Pentax DSLRs in six months?? That is definitely an addiction!

Thanks for the welcomes.
I confess to also being a camera collector. When I let it be known that I was taking up photography again when I retired I got offers of cameras "never used" or inherited from relatives. Or upgraders or Canon/Nikon migrants.
I also passed all my M42 gear on to another "collector", who has 80 cameras. Many of which he still uses.
I bought a K-x the year before retiring but never really took to it. Convinced that the DSLR route was still the one to follow I bought a K500 last year. This was better but still a tad daunting. A K100D, K110D and K10D followed. The K10D is definitely the one I use most and I think will be the workhorse. They are all beautiful pieces of engineering.
Photoshop Elements and Gimp software fit in with my IT background and enable correction of errors.
I enjoy my photography and could never be a purist.
And for the record my total number of cameras currently stands at 18.

In my film days I had a K1000, MX & MG. Then I moved on to a Ricoh XRX.
In the last 6 months I have discovered Pentax DSLR cameras and acquired 6.
K-x, K500, K100D, K110D & K10D. I still have K fit lenses from my film cameras and they still give good results on the DSLR's.
It's good to learn something new after 50 years of photography.
I hope to rebuild my confidence to the point where I might show a sample of my efforts.
This seems the place to seek advice and view reviews of kit.
