Phoenix Pentaxians?

shaolen · 10-13-2012, 08:53 PM

Just wondering if anyone on here happens to reside in Phoenix AZ and would like to start a meet for people to share photos, stories and tips.

Good initiative! There are quite a few members here in the Valley.

There is also a group for Arizona users: https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/groups/31-amazing-arizona/

Oh cool! yeah we should definitely start a meet in the valley. what do you shoot with?

Ole · 10-14-2012, 02:16 PM

I mostly use a K-5. Occasionally the K10D. My *istD is retired for good.

My most used lenses are the FA*28-70 paired with the DA* 60-250 and the DA 12-24. For travel I sometimes just take the DA 18-135. For macro I use the D FA 100mm Macro.

In an under water: Optio WPi.

Sounds good to me. I could travel all the way from Gilbert. Always ready to pick other brains. K5 & Kx user

I use Silver Pentax K-5 and an *ist D with DA 15mm limited, DA 40mm xs, FA 28-200mm, 135mm 2.5, and FA 35-80mm mostly (i have a bunch of other old lenses). I'm located in east Mesa (have to update my profile) we can probably find a spot in the east valley to meet up at.

I'll PM the members of the Amazing Arizona group about this thread. Let's then use this thread to set a date and place!

I shoot with a K20D and live in north Phoenix, near Paradise Valley. I'm in, sounds fun!

Hey welcome everyone! Anyone have any ideas of where we should hold our meet and what day? unfortunately i work on weekends. are you guys available on fridays?

Adam · 10-20-2012, 10:14 PM

I know there are quite a few members from Phoenix here on the forum- just search the member list. I'm not in town at the moment, but would love to meet up with you guys next time I am (likely toward the end of the year).

I'm pro shooter in Tucson using a 6x7 and may be able to attend since I'm out of action after tearing muscles in my leg in Colorado.

I live in Chandler. I use a K-7 with various glass. I recently purchased a Tamron 70-200 2.8,,,having fun with it. I think a meet and great is a great idea.
