Win a Pentax Limited Lens: Raffle Now Live!

**Sam_I_am** · 03-23-2020, 08:53 PM

I have been lurking for awhile now, and with the coaxing of Ismael, decided to join up. I learned of this site from a thread he started on another forum, a model car forum. Watching him restore a few old cameras made me dig out our (my wife's and mine) old film cameras. While I like cameras, my wife is the true photographer in our family, and our youngest son takes after her. While they are both using dslrs, I still have her first camera, an ME super that she bought when she was 16. I added a second body later. I also have a K1000, P3, ZX-10, and a ZX-30. Some of them need tinkered with, but that's most of the fun. I also have a number of non Pentax cameras as well. I hope to watch and learn, ask questions when I can't find the answers, maybe do some trading, and overall just enjoy being here.

Thanks for the warm welcome. My head is spinning at the moment. I just went through all my lenses and matched them up in the review section. Other than one which seems to be a very nice lens, the rest fall into that category of "good enough for who its for". Seven of my lenses were not in the review section so I will start a thread later on hoping someone has, or had, one of them.
