Hi there I am Peterborough Ontario Canada.

Just got here.

I have a Pentax K-5 and very happy with it.

Waited a long time to get a Pentax DSLR. But while I waited for Pentax to come out with there DSLR. Canon and Nikon came out first.
So I ended up with a Canon G-3 still got it and still use it

But I waited. When Pentax finally came out with the *ist D. Problem I could not afford it at the time.
But still held off the when the time was right I was able to get the K-5

Here is were I find the Ironic twist the 35mm film cameras I have are Ricoh models KR-1 and KR-2s. They used the Pentax K mount.
The lenses are a mix range of 18mm to 400mm zoom and prime from Ricoh, Pentax, Vivitar, Soligor and a set of extension tubes. A old Sunpak Autozoom 3000.
All my old Camera gear lives again A K-5 with a Ricoh lens

Just in case your wondering I also use a Gossen LunasixF light meter from time to time to measure light hitting the subject

For the most part I have my K-5 in manual mode due to the lenses I have.

Hope you enjoyed my story

P.S. want to get a K-3 next

Welcome to the forum...

I bought my Tamron 90 from a guy in the Peterborough Camera Club who was switching to Nikon.

Sounds like you found yourself a great camera...been around your area and it's a great place to own one!

For your 300-400mm lenses check out the 300 plus club, it tends to be a bit like National Geographic, but still, the place to be for people who shoot with long lenses.
