Hi all,
Just did a scary moved and got rid of all my Canon gear to join Pentax. Got myself the K-1 II and pretty pleased with the move so far.

I'm mainly interested in landscape and night photography.

I'm French and live in New Zealand. Any other Pentaxians around here?

So far I got the Irix 15mm, the Pentax 31mm and have the Samyang 20mm on order. I might get some K or M glass later on.

Cheers,

Hi from Australia, and welcome to the Pentax forums and the lovely Pentax K-1 II. Good to have you here.

PS. You might want to check this this thread out. LOTS of Kiwis here.

Looking forward to your involvement here!

Welcome! I claim honorary kiwi-ship although I'm a Brit, having spent most of February and March this year in the land of the long white cloud.

Welcome from "across the ditch". Enjoy that K-1 ii.

Welcome to Christchurch! Pentax isn't the most common gear here, but you're not alone.

If you're interested in meeting other photographers, I highly (if not objectively) recommend checking out The Rangiora Photographic Society (Rangiora Photographic Society ? Embracing the Light). There are a number of other clubs in and around Christchurch which may be more convenient for you, but I haven't visited them.

As you're French, you'll want to check out the Lyttelton Farmers Market; I'll be the one selling my wife's wonderful goat cheese.
