Good evening. I recently acquired a K-70 with a 50mm DA sense and will start learning the world of DSLRs. I have some experience with film SLRs via a Canon Ftb.

Hi, Lloyd. Another welcome from Australia.

Welcome, the knowledge you gained from using film SLR's easily translates to the K-70.

I look forward to seeing your pictures.

To help your learning curve I strongly recommend purchasing an eBook for the K-70. It explains the many, many parameters and features so much better than the manual. https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/donations/?act=ebook&loginrequired=1#sub25

Welcome to the Forums. I hope you'll enjoy your Pentax gear as much as you Canon film gear.
