Yet Another Australian!
Hi Pentax People,
I'm a recent convert to Pentax. It is one of the few major camera brands I have never owned (until eight months ago).
Previously I have used Canon, Nikkormat, Mamiya, Minolta, Olympus, Nikonos (all film) and most recently Ricoh. The convenience of digital had me looking to start a new SLR system and the K10D was too good to ignore. I had no real attachment to my other SLRs as they were mostly too old to carry over my lens collection(s) to digital (with the qualified exception of a 1971 Nikkor 135mm).
I have had to start my lens collection from scratch. So far my favourite is a DA14. Other focal lengths I have currently filled with cheap stop gaps and lenses on loan as I am hanging out for affordable weatherproofed lenses to match the K10D. I shoot mostly nature and nature has got the better of some of my past cameras.
Looking forward to getting forum help in choosing the rest of my kit in the next couple of years
