Greetings from London

Hi All
I have started my photography adventure twenty years ago with a small Sony DSC-P73. After that life got in the way…
In 2015 I got myself my first DSLR, a K-50, and it felt amazing - I still got it (so far I have taken more than 75’000 shots).
The best thing about Pentax is that all those old lenses are still available and fully working on modern cameras - you can't beat that.

In lockdown I got into film photography after I was given old film cameras, and then I got myself a few Pentax SLR bodies to be able to use more lenses.

I have to admit that developing your first rolls makes you feel like an alchemist

Welcome to the forums!
Being able to share lenses between film SLR and DSLR is definitely a nice Pentax advantage.

Welcome aboard, it's something you never forget... like your first print forming in the dev tray.
