New in the Pentax community

Hi everyone,

My name is Eric, Pentax user for 2 years now.

Right now I am volunteering in different programs for wildlife conservation, hoping to find a job one day as a photographer and also filmmaker!

For photography I will try to only use Pentax equipment because I really like them, even if I can not compare with others since I started photography with my K3ii and Pentax lenses.

I am happy to join this community to share my work and learn a lot from you guys, and when I will be able to help someone I will too!

Wish you the best shots ;-)

Rikoo Lah

Welcome Eric and great image to start with! Costa Rica is certainly a great place to shoot birds. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work.

Thank you so much �� Yes indeed , it’s a paradise for birdwatching, I love it! Unfortunately, I broke my telelens (55-300mm PLM version) 2 weeks ago so now I only have my 100mm macro so harder to shoot birds but there is so many wildlife here that I can take picture of!
I’ve planned to buy the same lens, back to France, next month and I am thinking about buying a used one. I have to say that I am afraid to do so but know a trustable website in Europe that I can trust?

Thank you so much

Hi Eric, welcome from Australia. Your excellent photograph is a testament to the weather resistant capabilities of Pentax gear. Well captured.
