G'day from Down Under - Sydney

Sergei · 05-14-2008, 03:40 AM

I jumped into the Pentax Pond with a K20D just over 3 weeks ago, after shooting Nikon for some 30 ++ years

. Not a religious fanatic, so still retain a couple of F mount bodies and lots of glass.
Shot a one lens wedding just over a week ago with the K20 and Tammy 18~250, and am happy with my choice.

Main reason was I wanted more pixels for my panos, and the K20D represents the best bang for buck right now!

Anyways, thought I would say hi to this amzing global community after reading some of the other intros

Shalom, Peace, Cheers to everyone

Welcome Sergei from here in the West.
This is probably the best and friendliest forum for Pentax People.
That sounds very catchy, doesn't it - "Pentax People"!

Thank you Garth,

love your fair city, enjoyed my visits in 98 and 99, took my boys down to the Speedway in Bunburry on both occasions, great sprintcar action!
Love the markets in Freemantle too!

Thanks mate, Illawarra is a bit closer!
Love the South Coast, spent many a summer camping around Stanwell Tops,
still do a bit of bush bashing from time to time, did an overnight hike at Kosciusko over Easter weekend, got some nice panos

and one that Lithos and Ash can relate to

RickyK · 05-18-2008, 03:56 PM

AML · 05-18-2008, 04:05 PM

Hi and welcome Sergei. You picked a fine camera to become a Pentaxian.

I'm also in Sydney, north of the harbour.

welcome sergei , ps i deserted nikon to {jan this year} to expensive for what they are i think.still got film gear though

Sergei · 05-21-2008, 05:06 AM

Thanks mfc,

the rationale for me was finally, more resolution for large fine art prints at a favourable price point, the feature set was also important.
