Hi from Sacramento, California!
Hi everyone,
I'm a Pentax enthusiast from Sacramento, California. I own a K-7 with three lenses: the 100mm f/2.8 macro, the 50mm f/1.4, and the 18-55 kit lens. I also use a AF540FGZ flash.
My main photographic interests are wildlife (bats and invertebrates), native California wildflowers, and fungi. I also shoot a lot of portraiture and nudes. I also shoot a few weddings per year; it's not really something I enjoy doing, but I love getting paid to shoot!
I'm rough on my equipment. My K-7, which was an incredible upgrade from my first DSLR, a K100D, has been dragged up and down sand dunes in the Mojave desert. It's been used in the field in rainy, muddy, and delightfully dirty conditions. Though petite, it has been a rugged beast of a camera that has withstood all of the punishment I've thrown at it. I wish I could say the same for the 50mm f/1.4 lens, which I've had repaired due to focusing helical issues three (!!!) times.
I also shoot medium format film cameras -- a 1958 Minolta Autocord LMX and a modified Holga.
All the best,
Dan
