To start with, please pardon my English, my home language is Afrikaans, but I think I can do better than Google's translation. I bought my first camera, Pentax K1000, about 30 years ago. It gave me a lot of pleasure for a few years, untill my hobby got sidelined, due to personal reasons. About a month ago I decided to take the big step to DSLR, and bought the K x. I've been out of SLR for so long that I might as well be seen as a complete novice to photography, although I hope to pick up a lot of tips from all the friendly people I've seen on this forum.
