Greetings from California!

Hello all,

I've lurked on these forums for a couple of years now. I am a casual shutterbug who started with an old hand-me-down film Minolta X-370 in college back in 2001, followed by a dark period of cheap point-and-shoots, started getting back into photography in 2008 with a Canon xTi, eventually upgrading to a 50D which I adored, and a bag full of third-party 2.8 zooms. However, I felt that something was missing, and when I stumbled upon the magic of the Pentax Limited lenses, I knew that I had found what I was looking for.

So nearly two years ago, to the day, I ordered a K5iis and a 21/3.2 Limited, and it was a match made in heaven. It wasn't long before I had the 70mm Limited, then the 40mm Limited. Eventually, the 15mm made it into my kit, and within the last month, I finally completed the set with the 35mm macro! And so it came to me, maybe its about time I officially join the forum I check in on on a daily basis, so here I am! I look forward to my time here!

Hi from Australia, Dean. Welcome to the Pentax forums. Sounds to me like you have caught LBA ( lens buying addition ) just from watching the forums. Now that you have joined up, it can only get worse !!! Good to have you aboard.

Thank you all!

Microlight, I've considered the 20-40mm! Certainly dangerous territory it is, for my wallet!

Hello and welcome aboard - glad you could join us (at last! ).

Like you and many others, I'm a big fan of the Limited lenses. Your K5IIs is particularly good at bringing out their full potential
