Hi from India

everythingeek · 01-28-2017, 05:46 AM

Hey, people, I'm a hobbyist photographer from India, who jumped ships from Canon to Pentax recently and just purchased a K5 II, now with the tank in hand I'm looking to learn more things here and maybe contribute to this great forum.

One thing which is amazing about Pentax is their ability to use vintage lenses on all K Mount models, I've been reading into it and so far those classic metal lenses are blowing away much advanced more costly models from all manufacturers in terms of output. Amazing depth and sharpness for less than 100 bucks on used gear.

Hi from Australia. Welcome to the Pentax forums, and the joys of Pentax equipment. Being able to use legacy lenses on new bodies is a great feature.

Good to have you here.
