Originally posted by teogin It is true!!! Global true!!! I think a lot of people here can feel you and are in the same situation with you (including me of course)!
BTW, the economical crisis of Hellas brought us in such a situation that we need 4 months salary to get a Pentax K-1 body!
This is ridiculous for a European country, but I think that millions of people deserve a better life and especially people who live in rich countries, but in a very poor way of living because some and few evil mind guys want everything for themselves!
I wish God brought light in our heads and helped us to learn how to love all the people and learn how to share etc.
Undoubtedly, this forum is a wonderful place for sharing!
Great post my friend! There are not many people in here that can understand what you are talking about and far less that have felt it (thanks God for that!).
I endorse everything you wrote as it is exactly what I'm feeling these years, but I also didn't/don't want to bother the fellow PF members with my worries
Anyway PF is a place that I also saw like a shelter that helped me forget the ugly truth around me and help me relax and think about my passion when I'm not outside with my K-1 which also offers me joy and relief! I can say that we have paid for our photographic passion with "body parts", as these money were spent on a "hobby" against every rational and the general notion to save money for the worst things that are coming ahead...
I can't quite adequately describe the whole situation and there is no point in that, I only hope that no other countries fall in such a negative socio-economical climate as no people deserve this strain... I can only ensure you that every click from my K-1 counts to me so much and I hope it will serve me for many years to come and offer me images and therapy at the same time!
Sorry for my emotional and irrelevant post but it is a message to my friend @teogin (we don't know eachother) that he is not alone! Glad to be Pentaxians though
PS: It would be a serious omission by my part if I forgot to mention that under these hard circumstances there was a new and great representation of Ricoh-Pentax in Greece with great after sales service and communication with the people who work there. What a paradox!
