Hi all,

hope everyone is keeping well in the current climate- just got a new KS-1 in the strawberry sweets colours- was a bargain price for brand new!

Looking forward to getting some fun underway with macro lenses and aim to post some pics once taken- first DSLR after using a Panasonic GF3 for last 5 years.

Hope to learn much from here

Sure I saw one in pink and white on eBay not long ago for around £175 with the kit lens?
Good price if it was you who picked it up!

Welcome.

Welcome.

I wish it had been that good a price!! £250 seemed a perfectly acceptable price- was an eBay shop deal with one of the pink and one lime.

Thanks for the warm welcomes all
