New member from Norway, hi everyone !

Hi !

I'm a 61 year old guy from Norway and I am a hobby photographer at best.
Started with a Pentax K200D and then a K30. Finally got me a K1 when this came out and realy like it.
The reason I chose Pentax was the weathersealing on the cameras. I have an interest in astrophotography and that would mean a lot of condensation on the equipment.
Got me a D FA 150 - 450 ED lens this year after a long time wanting. Had it for 14 days and my grandson got hold of the camera strap and it fell to the floor onboard my boat

It is now repaired and checked, so I hope to be shooting alot with this one from now on!

Seen alot of great pictures in here, so I have plenty of things to aim for as becomming a better photographer.

Brgds Arne Martin

Welcome to the forum. I had the good fortune to visit Norway a few years ago and I loved it, a really fantastic and beautiful country.
