Goodbye Canon, Hello Pentax

desame.one · 02-14-2008, 10:39 PM

For Valentine's Day, I broke up with Canon and decided to pursue a relationship with Pentax. Selling the last of my Canon lenses to a co-worker this morning solidified the split. I ordered two K10D bodies, grips, flashes, and the DA* zooms just before the rebate promo ended. I found a silver 77mm Limited on eBay for a good price the other day and had to give in.

I haven't had the opportunity to play with my new toys as of yet due to a few projects at home that I need to complete for my wife, but I should be up and about shortly.

I look forward to learning and sharing with this community. In the several weeks that I have been lurking, it appears to be a nice place to hang out.

Cheers!

Welcome to the forum.
What were the reason for breaking up -- too many headaches?

Welcome to the group...as a fellow new comer I think you will like it here. I have been shooting with Pentax for a while now and think you have made a wise decision.
Nice Destro image too...

Welcome to the club! Pentax is truly amazing. You will no doubt enjoy your time here and with the camera (almost forgot about that, ahahh).

Welcome to the site/group, as I'm sure you'll love it here. But I think, I may be wrong, Tux only has the ones in the green.
