Because I deserve it ... And that's all I need to say

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!

Thank you for your wonderful words! God bless you!

It's unlikely, but if we did, that would be a real shot in the arm for the K-1ii - 2,000 posts a day? If we want it enough, no sweat

The biggest number on my spreadsheet {midnite to midnite UTC} is 2178 - at this moment we need 2562 - but anything is possible if people post

There is always a chance. My sense is that posting is fairly brisk this morning.

Life doesn't stop when you get 180 posts. There are bigger goals after that - like 181 posts.
