Win a Pentax Limited Lens: Raffle Now Live!

nifty_shot · 04-22-2017, 05:49 AM - **1 Like**

First thing I saw was another Aussie's "hello" post... must be the weather or something... Anyway, started with a 35mm SLR MV (or was it MV-1?) then ME-Super in the 1980's; loved the Pentax lenses and SLR layouts. Loved even more the look of a well-exposed Kodachrome 25 or 64 slide - like a miniature stained glass window. But, one overseas trip saw me spend close to $1,000 in print and slide processing, and that's when I moved to digital. Still got some of my original kit, but I am looking very hard at the new K-P. Cheers!

G'day from " a little south " nifty. Welcome to the Pentax forums mate. From all accounts so far, the KP is looking like a fine body.
Good to have you here.

Welcome, aye you Aussies are all over the place in the forum here, good job you always arrive just in time to get the round in.

**robgski** · 04-23-2017, 05:43 AM

welcome!

I wonder what percentage of PF members are from Australi, it seems like quite a large number. In general, PF seems to draw Pentaxians from all around the world.

Oh, and that I suppose we had good AsahiPentax importers in the 70's 80's as we fell in love with Yamaha bikes and Toyota cars. :P

Welcome Bruce!

Where? Where?

Pentax, yes (I have too many), Yamaha, yes (I've had a few - currently have an XJR1300). Toyota, no (I've had two).

Oh, welcome Bruce (I'll take your word for it that his name is Bruce

)
