Hello from Sydney

ingi · 05-25-2008, 03:12 AM

Hi all, just wanted to say hi from Sydney. It seems there are quite a few Aussies here.

This forum has been a great help already and I only just joined a couple of days ago. Soon I will be a new owner of a K20D with my lens choices of a Sigma 17-70mm and a Pentax 55-300. (if it ever gets to Australia). Have now had to add a Tamron 18-250mm to the list as well as both other lenses are proving a bit hard to get and I am too eager to wait for backorders before I can start playing.

Oh and thankyou in advance to everybody who answers/helps with all the questions I am going to have while learning/playing with my new toy.

A K20D and 18-250? I'm only about 1200 k's up the road Ingrid and would love to try both of them

Welcome and we look forward to your input and photos.

Hi Ingrid, the K20D and 18~250 make for a mighty combo, just returned from the central coast shooting with it all weekend.
Enjoy - and start posting pics

Hello and Welcome Ingrid

As I have the same lemses 17-70mm I can tell you its a must to have,also I have the sigma 70-300 APO marco (not quite) but still reasonable so I have 2 lenses that cover what I need for..

Enjoy and ask away as there is always someone on hand to help

Welcome to the forums Ingrid ... good to see another member from Sydney.
Everyone seems to be from Melbourne though.

Looking forward to seeing some pics from your new toys.

Thanks Simon. My new toy arrived yesterday, working my way through the manual as I type.

Tut tut there Ingrid...

Time to update your signature

Great to hear just what the local camera shop will do. I for one look forward to seeing your work with the K20.

Cheers
