Pentax SYDNEY meetup/workshop

Wilson_Kx · 05-01-2010, 10:40 PM

I was wondering if anyone is interested in a Pentax user group meet up in Sydney CBD, whether you are an expert or a beginner, you are welcome to join.
- some of the activities that i have thought off would be:
- Helping beginners how to use their gears etc
- Share tips and techniques
- and go out as a group to put our gear to use with the knowledge that we just obtained from one another.

Don't worry this thread is just to register your interest, once there is significant number of people interested, i will make a new thread so that we can decide on the time and date of the meet up.

p.s. im aware that you all might have some other commitment such as family and other social events and we will try to work around that so that many will be able to attend.

sure once we get enough interest (around 10-15 people) then i will create another thread discussing the date and time that the meeting is going to be on. so remember if you are interested please leave a "yes" in the pole.

@NuZo that will be generous of you to let us try out some of your lens =)
