10 days in heavy tourist areas, saw 3 pentaxes

Here in the Highlands we're all too busy fighting off wild animals and beasties to see even other people, let alone Pentax bearing ones.

perhaps you should train the beasts to carry a pentax!

You crack on... I'll learn by your example.

My last few trips to Yellowstone:

In 2014 I saw a Pentax user while waiting in line to order food at the cafe at the Old Faithful visitor's area. He was sporting a Spotmatic he had owned since new.

This year I saw an old timer like myself sporting Pentax ZX-M with a zoom lens on it. I did approach him. I had my K1 and K3 with me and they were sporting my D FA 150-450 and Pentax DA 55-300 respectively. He looks at me and says; " Whoa am I outgunned!"

In July at Yellowstone I may have seen a guy with a K1 in all white but I did not approach him. He was shooting one handed with his little girl asleep in his other arm and looked pretty busy. Mom was holding their other child.

What is rare is that the last three times I have been at Yellowstone I have only seen a total of two cars from New York State.

We are rare, but exceptional people always are a rarity.
