Hey from Australia

Pentaxiank70 · 02-23-2017, 04:03 AM

Hello there. I have recently just put purchased my first Pentax a Pentax k70 and I love it. I have come from Sony mirrorless as I really wanted an optical view finder and all is going well so far. I'm sure I will have plenty of questions in the coming weeks. Look forward to reading through the forums and keeping up do date with new Pentax lenses etc

Nice to meet you all

Cheers Michael

Hello, Michael, and welcome to Pentax Forums. It's good to hear you're enjoying your K70. Many of us still find the OVF more satisfying, though some differ on that. There's lots of help here – your biggest problem will be choosing the Forum to post a question in! We'd be interested to hear your experience with Sony, too, and, of course, we look forward to seeing some photos, when you're ready.
