I found these magazines in the attic today, thought I'd share with the group. I've got about 36 issues from the early 80's. There are about 20 to 30 pages of articles, reviews, club news etc.

I assume these were the forerunner to Pentax User.

One and the same. The magazine ran alongside the website for some time, until eventually we became web-only.

There's quite a bit of interesting stuff in those magazines.

Best regards, John

Kinda partial to the top/left cover, myself.

My wife took a couple of shots of me with her K-50, today:

Hmm, tell her it would look more dramatic if she'd included the circle of fire in the frame .....
