Hi, I'm actually in the suburb of New Westminster in Vancouver.
I got into SLR photography early last year and chose the Pentax K100D after reading all the reviews. Though at times it's hard finding the lens or accessories in the Pentax mount, overall I'm pleased with my purchase.
I didn't find pentaxforums.com until a few months ago, as it's pretty lonely out here in Vancouver being a Pentax user. Most people I know are either Canon or Nikon users, so it's going to be nice to associate with my "own kind" now.
