I have been a Pentax user for over 30 years. I started in high school with a K1000 that I bought from my brother-in-law. With that K1000 i started takiing pictures and never looked back. i have always stuck with Pentax and never considered using anything else. i still have that K1000 along with my trusty ME Super and my old workhouse, the Super Program. i used that Super Program for over 20 years until i finally drug myself into the digital world when i purchased a K10D. I am still using my K10D, which i admit has been sitting idle for about 2 years. i recently purchased some new glass to help get my interest sparked again. i came across this forum while researching new lenses. i am looking forward to sharing ideas, thoughts and photos with other users.i posted some of the very first photos i took with my K10D. These were taken with my trusty old 20-80mm Macro Takumar lens. That is one of the best things about Pentax, you take can take a brand new digital camera and use it with any lens. Try that with a Cannon.
