Hello everyone,
I have been 'lurking' long enough, drawing from the wealth of knowledge, experience and enthusiasm here. Thought it's time I overcame my uh.. retiring nature

.. and say hello. When I got serious about photography again three years ago, I went for Pentax because my camera in high school was a well loved K1000 and I remember the great results I got from the 50/2 on it. I then went nuts collecting the Limiteds as well as older K mount and M42 lenses and film bodies. I shoot both digital and film and have been "GASsing" around with other stuff -- it's embarrassing how much --- to appreciate my K5iis and set of primes.
