Hello,
I would like to introduce myself.
I have enjoyed taking photos intermittently for a while, in recent years it has started to take more of my time (and money). I have often noticed the Pentax stand in my local camera shop and felt curious about the appealing, almost industrial design with striking white font. Wanting to explore full frame I decided that it had to get my hands on a Pentax and acquired a K1 second hand with three M lenses... I have fallen in love. After spending some time getting to know the camera what has struck me is the absolutely beautiful image quality and how utterly simple and enjoyable the experience of taking a photo with it can be. For a few years i have been using Fujifilm (XT3 & X100f) which has suited my preference for control but when patience for focusing by wire wears thin... nice instagram-ready jpegs are fine but once you start growing tired of instagram... when that enormous, heavy f1.4 prime lens starts to feel more and more cumbersome... an alternative is needed
I have also discovered an enthusiastic positive community around these cameras, here the 'Six-megapixel club' blew me away. These are refreshing attitudes and i'm looking forward to exploring your forum.
If you made it this far, thanks again
Patrick.
