Win a Pentax Limited Lens: Raffle Now Live!

Hi

I feel like I have returned to the Pentax fold.

Started off with the Praktica LTL3 and Canon AE1, before using a Pentax MX and a couple of M lens for loads of B&W photography in the 1970/80s.

Then job(s) and offspring came along and my photography seemed to get squeezed into the 'point and shoot' variety.

Then last year was just about to rediscover photography via a digital Canon DSLR, but it didn't feel right in the shop. Tried a K20 and realised that my old M lens would fit (in manual mode) and that was it! Enjoying film and digital now.

Thanks for the tips and comments in this forum - very informative!

Welcome Dez.
You'll enjoy the K20D - a very capable camera that can utilise all your old lenses.
I'm sure you'll be blown away by the results you get from your ltds!
Look forward to your contributions.
