Welcome back to the fold and the forum. I know you will enjoy your new kit. Do post some photos and have a great holiday.

Cheers,

Stephen

Welcome to the forum Mark. Love the pic of your two little friends, do post some more. By the way, only questions you don't ask are 'silly' ones.

Regards,

Stephen

Sorry, the comma should have been after 'pro' not 'Pentax'.

Cheers

I speak with pro's and amateurs almost every day and have found the following interesting facts:
"I used Pentax all my life for film, but when I switched to digital the price point and deals offered by the dealer couldn't be matched".
"I wanted an SLR type of camera and when I visited the camera store the only options mentioned were "C" or "N". I didn't even know Pentax were still being made."
"Of course we push those brands first. The margins and rebates mean more money in my pocket."

Don't let flash, as in advertising, be your guide. Those that constantly have to flaunt their wares must be trying to compensate for something. Do not the wonderful pictures constantly presented in the PU Gallery substantiate that whether amateur or pro Pentax, kit is up to the challenge?

Hello Neil and welcome to the forum. I shall be watching for some photo posts.

Sorry to hear about your Dad and the light assembly Graham, but the important thing is.....how's the camera? All fine I hope.

Cheers,

Welcome to the forum Mark. This is the place to have questions answered, but don't ask me! I've forgotten more than I've ever learned.

I'd agree probably the MX, but as a real work horse, clunker take any abuse and then ask for more - try a K1000. Used one for years, got me out of many a jab.
By the way, welcome to the forum.

Cheers,

Stephen
