Hello From Minnesota!

Hello everyone!

I'm new to Pentax, but not to SLR/dSLR cameras. I'd still call my self a newb/novice though.

I just picked up a gorgeous condition K-x body with one minor flaw that I will start another thread on in the appropriate area. I also picked up a KSX Super 35mm film camera that came with lenses (50mm 1.7, 500mm mirror, 28-75mm and 135mm), flash, filters, cleaning kit and other miscellany.

I'm looking to dive right in, and read, read, read. Oh, and maybe badger you all for your best tips and tricks.

Welcome to the forum! I'm sure the friendly folks here will provide all the help you need and also how to spend all your loose change on Pentax gear!

Looking forward to seeing some images.

Thanks! The marketplace forum is one of the sections I always hit first. I love a good bargain.

Salut Jean! Comment ça va? I have posted a couple of pictures in the "Post your photos!" section. They can be found here and here.

Gone! It's a beautiful sunny spring day today, and we should be in the 70s (20s celcius) this afternoon.
