Hello from the Canadian Praires

Hi Everyone,

My interest in Pentax goes back about 35 years when I purchased a used camera and lenses from my mother who had purchased them used from the local newspaper photographer, I believe it was a K1000. I then purchased a Pentax Super Program, which I still have and just when digital cameras were starting to come out a Pentax MZ-7 because digital will never take good pictures ( boy did that statement ever get blown out of the water! ). Soon after purchasing this camera life got real busy and my photo taking deteriorated to quick snapshots on 3 meg point and shoots.

Recently we purchased a winter home in Sun City West Az. and joined the photography club there. My interest is now rising again and being semi retired I am hoping to get more involved again. I just purchased a new K-50 with the 2 kit lenses (18-55 & 50-200). Haven't had much of a chance to do more than turn it on yet but I am sure that will change. I will likely have lots of questions so this seemed like the right place to join as it seems everyone is very helpful for those of us that are less knowledgeable!

Jerry
