Win a Pentax Limited Lens: Raffle Now Live!

AshleytheIslander · 04-14-2014, 08:04 AM

Hi! I can't believe I'm just signing up here! I've been shooting Pentax for 11 years -- first with my old K1000 I bought to learn photography in high school. I upgraded to DSLR in 2009 and I'm still shooting with the same sad 200D and the SLR lenses. I'm in serious need of an upgrade so have been researching cameras for a few months. Most of my photographer friends shoot Canon and were trying to bully me into one, but it just didn't feel right to me. I've decided to stick with Pentax and am saving up for a K-3. I mostly photograph friends and family. I've been doing photography for a long time at an amature level and my goal is to move to doing it professionally after I upgrade my gear and software. Looking forward to joining the Pentax community here and advancing my skills and knowledge.

haha it's going to take me a while yet

But now that I've decided on a camera I'm much more motivated to save up for it.
