Wow - I've been here a year!

**Douglas_of_Sweden** · 03-19-2009, 08:37 PM

I'm just curious (and ignorant), Adam. Why this date? Was Asahi founded on April 4, the first Pentaprism Asahi, first m42 takumar, the LX or soemthing like that presented on Aprl 4?
Or was it the start date of Pentax Forum?

Or was it the day that Adam chose?

It's obvious it's the first Saturday after an April fools day that follows a leap year who's square root is between 44 and 45

- Hope to be out and about on that day.

RickL · 03-20-2009, 06:08 AM

I think he picked it because it's my anniversary.

No- the forum was started on September 7th, 2006.

April 4th is just a convenient spring date.

Must remember this time.

Can't we have a Pentax Pride day. Everyone has to go out taking pictures wearing leather shorts and nothing else.
