I have the large flash bender and its pretty good, I use it to bounce/snoot and flag.

thank you all for the nice comments and for the warm welcome.

Im new here so I don't know who left and what not but Its just part of what happens.

Ive been a member of many forums over the year's, One I didn't regret leaving was the official World of Warcraft ones.

As for other camera brand's, People leaving pentax to go FF is quite common.. I have seen so many great shooter's leave for that reason alone in other forums... Most of them wanted to stick with pentax but were not given the option.

I too have had a FF camera, While I do miss the shallower DoF I was able to get from the d3 I had for a while I feel my k5 is better than it in every other way apart from auto focus.

Then you have dual brand user's, I have taken some nice images with my Panasonic gf1 but unless used with a pentax lens mounted I wouldn't feel right to post them here.. And sometimes the gf1 get's more use than the k5.

I have 2x16gig cards and 2x8gig all class 10.

The 8gigs are kept in my gf1 and gx10 while one 16gig is in my k5 and another in the bag.

I have on occasions filled the 16gig with still's at a few weddings.. I sometimes shoot some video too.

My parrots pretty good at this too, but unlike the chickens she's generally to interested in her surroundings to keep her head still .

Hi all, Im just new here but I've been a pentax user for a little while, well a few years as a samsung gx10 but wasn't untill recently I got my k5.
I have been a member of some other photog forums bit since this is a uk based one I would be better of being here since im from Scotland .

Anyway Looking forward to looking around here and posting some stuff..

As for what I like to shoot.. nothing in particular but I do enjoy using flashs.

Here's a recent shot I did.
