Hello Pentax guys !

**DjaiSsih** · 11-21-2017, 04:48 AM

My name is Jean-Charles and I'm an old amateur photographer, since 60's.
I began with a YASHICA 635 and I bought my first SLR in 1975: a MINOLTA SRT101!
In 2006 I wanted to try digital and as Minolta had just given up the game I turned to Canon and the EOS 350D Rebel (2006) and EOS 60D (2012).
But the pleasure of the B & W film -- and the laboratory missing me -- I recently put "the hands in the soup".
I just bought at a flea market a PENTAX 645 with 130mm lens.

I hope to find from your kind community all the useful help.

Best regards !

Welcome. Interesting I bought a used twin reflex back in 1967. Couldn't afford an SLR.
