Hi everybody!

My name's Anton, live in Russia and i'm being stuck to Pentax for more than 4 years. First it was K-200d and first jack-of-all-trades lens pentax 18-250. After that i moved to tamron 17-50 which i broke few months ago

. Then I took K-5, which is one of the best cameras i've ever seen (considering its price of course!) 50mm f1.4, sigma 10-20 f3.5, pentax 17-70 f4... and my first lovely star - 50-135 f2.8

Looking for my first lim - 31mm i suppose and going to post some photos here

welcome to the forum!

how did you break the Tamron 17-50?

Due to high humidity on Mauiritus where I was on vacation zoom ring started to stall and broke after few days (stucked on 18-19mm). AF motor also went crazy:0 Currently I'm using Pentax 17-70 f4, but Tamron was something sharper I think...

Interesting. I live in high humidity location now too and I have started to worry about my lenses/cameras. So far nothing has happened (other than mold appearing on some of the older leather cases and straps). I will keep an eye on my Tamron 17-50.

Btw, I am also from Russia
