Hello,
I've just started my photographic learning journey courtesy of a terrifyingly complex looking Pentax K20D and a 16-45 lens. I've actually been researching getting a dslr for around 18 months now and its actually been the online community that has finally helped me make up my mind + of course my usual habit of not following the sheep
A few notes:
1: You cannot buy a new DSLR Pentax anywhere in Ireland it seems.
2: Canon everywhere, Nikon next up and all soon to be swallowed up by Sony shelf space wise.
3: I bought fairly blind but qudos to SRS for taking and handling all my calls, big thanks to Nikki, Chris and Will for finally sorting me out.
4: The K20D feels so good in hand, really makes a D60 or 400D feel a bit fisher price.
5: The Pentax online community seem to me to be a bit less kit obsessed, more picture obsessed and generally a lot more mature that their competition.
I apologise in advance for all the remarkably stupid questions I shall probably ask in the coming months.
Regards All,

You've bought a fine piece of kit, I have bought the K20D recently, and I've just added the SMC DA 50-300mm lens.
Robbie are you likely to get up to Donegal?
If you do, I look forward to seeing some fine shots of the rugged landscapes.
I've only ventured as far as The Ring of Kerry, but found it very over commercialised and touristy, I've been told Donegal is more like the Ireland of old.
Anyway welcome to the forum & comliments of the season

I was in Dublin a few weeks ago, I thought I'd check out the prices over there, couldn't find anywhere in Dublin that stocked Pentax, not DSLRs at leastYou cannot buy a new DSLR Pentax anywhere in Ireland it seems.

Now that is a bit below the belt.......but I like it

Hi Roscoe,
I've actually never been to Donegal, only person in my family that has made that trip was my Mum and that was to see wee Daniel!!! (he is an crooner that older women totally and utterly adore for those of you that have luckily never been subjected to what I call Daniel torture)
I'm in Cork so I have everything from the Old Head of Kinsale to Mizen to play with, all within say 90 mins drive . Kerry is an interesting spot, you're correct when you say its heavily touristy but if you aim for Kenmare and then go over the Kerry / Cork border there are some fantastic shots to be had....
How is the 50-300?, I think that is my next purchase, my Mrs has LBA I think She is amazed with the quality of the K20 and 16-45 but she told me quite seriously that she prefers longer zooms for her shooting style
