G'day from Melbourne

G'day to every Pentaxian

Been snooping around the forum for almost a year, checking out the wonderful information, which has help me on numerous occasions in choices of equipment and in my technique.

So, since the system is now reminding me that I haven't posted yet (which I thought I must have somewhere here), I'd better make my self know.

I'll leave you with this classic technological saying from a guy I use to do work for in the US.

so I was speaking to Dave (it may not be his real name) over the phone about placing a order with me in Australia, and I told him he could send a Fax. His reply was, "will my fax make it all that way to Australia".... So I hope my first post makes it all the way back to the US.

G'day and welcome mate. This forum can devour large chunks of your time if you're not careful.
Anyway, I see you've got a K7,Sig 17-70 and 70-200. Same here! Hope to add a Sig 30 f1.4 next year.

Regards

Thankks guys
Sam-joseph - I'm adding a 50mm f1.7 Horusbennu which I bought on Ebay. I intend to do a auto Apperture mod on it when it turns up next week. Don't think i'll go 30mm though, maybe lesser (10-20mm wide angle maybe).

RichardS - we should setup a Shoot-meet-and greet some time, exchange ideas and get to know the Melbournite Pentaxians. \

Cheers Guys & Gals.

Hi Barry,

I've been really bad when it comes to attending Melbourne meets. This is where you can meet folks: Melbourne Pentax User Information - PentaxForums.com

From the sounds from off stage, I think I have to go and do some carving

Happy Christmas, Barry.

Richard.
