Pentax owner for 40 years

BillAnderson · 05-18-2020, 04:10 PM - **1 Like**

Hi All

My first camera that I bought was an ME Super, when I was just 16. I have used many various camera systems as work cameras but my personal cameras have always been Pentax.
Currently running a Pentax K3 II Gunmetal Grey.
Lenses - only Pentax or Sigma used.

I am UK based but travel a bit

Hi, Bill. Another welcome from Australia. I must be going on 45 years of Pentax now as my first was an MX (which I still have). But I will use any lens I can mount on a Pentax (and some I still have to figure out how to use). Having said that I prefer Pentax lenses but I also use Sigma AF and old Zeiss manual lenses.

Wecome from the sunny south coast of merry England - I, too started with and ME Super, just under 40 years ago, and have stayed with Pentax ever since - I actually receently bough my son an ME Super on E-bay when he wanted a film camera, and it was so nice to hold one again (mine rusted away after being dunked in a South African stream

)
