introduction Martinn

I am Dutch, retired and have been photographing almost all my life.
In the analogue times I used an Olympus OM-2 which was superb and later on
a Canon camera.
Untill this year I used a Pentax K10D and now have a K5 which I think
is the best camera on the market in that range.

I mainly use a Sigma 10-20 mm lense which is an almost perfect
lense for landscapes and nature. I also have a Pentax DA1:2.8
50-135 mm ED lense and I also have a Pentax DA 1:4(22) 16-45 mm ED
on which I have permanently mounted a polaroid filter.
My Sigma 50-500 mm lense I have sold, because I seldom used it and it
appeared too heavy to carry with me on trips with all my gear.
I like to be a member of Pentax Forums, because you are always the firdt
to be informed about new interesting developments.

Good to have you here, and I agree, the K-5 is a novel APS-C camera.
Enjoy the forum and your photography.
