LOL .. heavy on LBA here

Lense buying addiction right ! that's how I found this forum a while back .. so much information and feedback on lenses including the vintage stuff. Then discovery of all the other great parts of the site made it a favourite read and learn fest. Love it.

As for the Sony A7 S - they're selling a 2014 model year - 12 MP cam w/ the pixel /pitch of 8.3 with the sell point of the other bonus of larger PP .. high ISO performance (off the charts). I dunno .. I've compared .. I side on the larger PP /pixel pitch end.

ps.
Beautiful shot Rimfire ! Puts me in a better place. It's all white where I'm at .. ughh winter. Hey see you're a shooter ... just trying to get into that as well. I'm down in Texas on business quite a bit - and folks down there are getting me hooked on target shooting.

It's pretty white here in Pennsylvania too. Good luck with your shooting.

Bienvenue! Quite a collection of camera equipment you have! We love Montreal, and this time last year we were there for a week. I loved it, and it was really cold. I've been there twice since, and that has been typical the last few years, Great city. Looking forward to seeing more of your photographs!

Hey thanks David! It's been a good start in Montreal this year - not like last year .. brrr... So far we're good, we had our 16 inches of snow .. in 1 day

.. but at least it's been mild ~ 30 fahrenheit for the past week and upcoming.

Looking forward to making new friends and building my knowledge and presence on Pentax forums

Welcome to the forum Andrew.
I spent a week in Montreal a couple of months ago - great city, lots of photographic opportunities.
Here are a couple of photos from the visit:

Hey thanks Vlad ! I think I can see my office from one of the shots. I work in the so called Multi Media city right by the port

. Great captures (port and mountain)! That 17-70 F4 Pentax is a great walk around lense + IQ

. Nice perspectives on your shots as well. PS. My sister travels to Melbourne on business 6-8 times a year - loves it ! Gotta go down 1 year

She keeps telling me how gorgeous it is. Have to lend her a cam so she can take more and better shots. If you're ever back in Montreal - let me know - it would be a pleasure to hook up. Cheers.

Salut Devouges et merci

Small world - I really appreciate all the welcomes !! I think I'll be set in 2015 with this forum and perhaps joining a local photo club for outings, ideas, and fun as well.

Glad you like my photos Andrew.
If I ever get to Montreal again (quite unlikely at this stage) will try and get in touch with you.
Similarly, if you make your way to Melbourne, send me a PM and I will be glad to touch base and do a photographic tour of the city with you.
