Greetings from Croatia!

Greetings from sunny Croatia to all Pentaxians out there!
My name is Miroslav, avid sports fisherman, amatuer photographer, partly doing some news work for fishing magazines.
Most of my images introduce nature and things related to my sport/hoby.

In my search for a camera years ago I was roaming the realms of internet and was convinced to go with the flow of mainstream and get a canon rebel or nikon dx40 or what ever was popular in that time. But one of the reviews from shooter of all three convinced me to go to the dark side , and as I like a bit of the underdog feel to it I took a plunge in to DSLR buying a K100d Super in double pack and boy what an difference it made to p&s i used til that time.

Than it was a matter of really learning about photography and all things related to it. Enjoyed the ride so far...

Second turnover was when i got aware of K100 weakneses and strenghts, all my friends had K10,K20...loads of dedicated buttons meaning faster reaction, weather sealing. I wanted something like that to compliment my hoby which has watter media all aound, and than K5 came out. And than came those stellar rewievs....just had to have it. And after a year of saving up I got a used one almost like ne one with just over a 3k shuter count.
Never ever will I need another camera, it is all I need and it deliveres perfectly. Now there is just a metter of optics...

Recently sold my trusty K100d Super... Not to happy about it and now somehow I miss it.
