Any Detroit Area Pentaxians?

ChrisTrevino · 09-13-2013, 06:01 AM

I've only ever met 1 or 2 other Pentax shooters around the Detroit Area.

Are we the only 2?

That's crazy... I live in Whitney On. with a population of probably about 400, and we have 2 Pentax shooters. (My wife and I). But when I moved here there were 4, another guy named Norm and his wife, but they moved away. Otherwise we'd be ahead of Detroit in the number Pentax shooters category. (In a place like Whitney you look to any claim to fame you can come up with. I can see it on the bill board on the way in to town. "Whitney Ontario -- more Pentax shooters than Detroit."

Actually there is a Michigan Group, not very active I see, and we are perhaps remiss in not subscribing
So I just subscribed.

I think there's quite a few in the surrounding suburbs... I'm in White Lake.

Now with Canon considering MF we won't even be able to say "At least we have a MF, even if we lack FF"

Pentax needs to hurry up and become a super power!

Not all of us have hit Michigan's mandatory "Retire and move to Florida" age requirement yet.

I'm too poor to leave Detroit.

I'm from Detroit, got out as soon as I could (20+ years ago). Visit the family sometimes (now in the suburbs), so do bring the Pentax once in a while...

The person who got this lens might now be a Detroit area Pantaxian!
