Hi fellow pentaxians, I was 15 when I first saw the magic of a black and white print emerging from the dimly lit tray and became hooked on photography. Naturally I was soon able to save the money for my first camera the ultimate learners camera which I still have in working condition a K1000 brick. Since then I have moved forwards and backwards with my cameras purchasing Asahiflex Spotmatics K's LX's M's MZ's *ist's (Still the WORST names for cameras EVER) D's and now back to Digital K's. I guess the next series will have to be digital L's! I have 110super with all the lenses flashes and drives as well as a 6x7 kit with lenses from 45 to 500mm. Motorsport and Landscape photography are the areas I most enjoy but have handled macro to weddings over the years. I still love it when I see the image in the viewfinder and fire off the shutter imagining the perfect shot emerging after processing. Well it works maybe 1 in 50 but each time I press the shutter I think I have it
. I am very happy and amazed to find this great information and community resource and hope to contribute some useful information over time. Other than my first camera the best camera I have ever used is still my original LX with FA1-W viewfinder and beloved 50mm 1.2 lens a solid unit wonderfully reliable and I still love the purposeful shclunk sound it makes when I press the shutter.
I almost forgot I am from Melbourne Australia which seems to be a current theme for new members lately
