Saw quite a few Pentaxians in SF today

This really excited me, so I had to share with everyone.

Today I was in San Francisco, touring around Alcatraz and Fisherman's Wharf. I saw 6 other Pentaxians! They were ranging from k100d to storm trooper k-x to k-7.

I think that was more than the number of Canonites I saw, however slightly lower than the number of Nikonians I saw.

My wife commented that she wonders if the other pentaxians were as excited to see me as I was to see them.

I always see at least one Pentax when I'm walking around the Embarcadero or at the Golden Gate Bridge. Considering how much I go, I think that's a good thing. I even saw someone with an *ist DL once!

Here, in Nova Scotia it is rare to see a Pentax or even a Kilt in wintertime. Can't wait till summer to see everything dangling.

Whenever I go somewhere that is tourist heavy like the French Quarter, the Zoo, the Aquarium, or the Botanical Gardens I usually see a handful of pentaxians.

I was (unfortunately) out and about in the Christmas crowds a lot, and I only saw 1 Pentaxian. I was in Pet Smart and a guy was behind me in line commented about my Pentax cap. (I had my K20D with me, but in my backpack.) He had a K-5 around his neck and he mentioned that he had not seen any other Pentaxians out shooting. It's rare that I ever see another Pentaxian here in northern VA. Except of course when the Mid-Atlantic group gets together.

Is that a DA* 50-135 in your pocket; or are you just excited to see me?

The box of choice here in Nova Scotia is a Brownie. I'm not blond. LOL
