Thank you very much, Steve.

As you say, you're a fellow Sydneyite. Are you ever interested in a meet up for a photoshoot and/or a coffee and gasbag about Pentax stuff?

Thank you very much, Tel.

Hi all,

I am a new poster, but a long time member of this forum. I actually joined in October 2004, but never posted here as I was an active contributor to DPR and Pentax Forums, but DPR is becoming a little less friendly, so here I am. I was asked to post here by another forum member and thought that it would be good to contribute as it looks a good forum.

I have just obtained a DA*50-250 f4 and a DA*55 f1.4 recently. Here are some samples taken with the DA*60-250. I wish I had taken a few wide open, as this is an all important aspect of this lens seeings that it has forgone the f2.8 max aperture and therefore many will want to be able to shoot at f4. I hope to try this out soon.

Hi all,

I have actually been a member since October, 2004, but I have not posted, so I thought I should really do something about it and get involved as it looks like a great forum.

Some of you may know me from DP Review and the Pentax Forums, but I am looking for a more pleasant experience than DPR.

Anyway, I hope I have something good to contribute to the Pentax User forums.

Cheers
