Win a Pentax Limited Lens: Raffle Now Live!

MartinMcFly · 07-16-2013, 07:22 PM

Hi, I'm Martin from Melbourne Australia. I've been taking photos for over 30 years. Originally developing my own B/W 35mm taken with my old Zenit-TTL and Helios 44mm lens at High school. Two years ago bought a Pentax K-7 with a 18-135mm WR lens. It has served me well but I have just bought a K-5ii body as I like to take a lot of low light night shots when traveling overseas and pictures of my boy's school productions.
Regards
Martin

Good to see a Melbournite aboard. Maybe we should set up an OZ group of Pentaxians! LOL
