Hello everyone

Hello everyone,

I'm reading the pentax forum for years now and i'm practicing photography for about 20 years now. I guess it was time to make an account on the pentaxforum to share my experiences and enjoy yours!

A little introduction how I became addicted to Pentax:
I started with a Pentax ME and a 50mm 1.7 M lens when I was a teenager. It was an old camera back then, but I really enjoyed the use of it! Unfortunately the camera was broke after a while and I bought a Pentax Super Programm, which I stil have today.

Bought my first digital camera in 2003, a Canon Ixus and later on a canon 450D. I enjoyed the camera's and made some great pictures, but I really missed the feel of that old Pentax Super Programm!

4 years ago I bought an old Pentax K10D and used it with my 50mm M lens. Boy, what a great combination! The quality of the pictures I took with it was great and I enjoyed practicing photography again! I became an addict. In a few years time I bought a lot of lenses and upgraded my camera to a Pentax K-70.

My favourite lenses are, of course, my good old 50mm 1.7 M lens; the 70mm 2.4 DA Limited lens and the 135mm 2.5 K lens! I do a lot of portrait work en those lenses are just perfect for that!

Here are some recent shots I made (didn't opload portraits for privacy reasons):

Welcome to the forums (although it sounds like you have been hiding in the background for a while). The M 50mm 1.7 (and its other family siblings) is a great lens that still performs exceptionally well today. Hopefully we will see some more photos from it and your K-70 (or K-10) before too long.
