Just found this group, and joined - not much of a one for social gatherings. I live in Norfolk, been a Pentax user since film days (still have a few MZ5n bodies), now K10D and K20D, plus a selection of lenses. Main interests landscape, wildlife and Railways.

On July 2 at Holt NNR Station, Norfolk, there will be a static display of vintage vehicles - plus of course Steam on the Railway, a Museum and food. Last year there were two Pentax users, of whom I was one .. .. ..

After a further two years, I'd like to thank you all for joining me. I can't believe I'm the only Pentax user in the Three Counties.

Hi Tony

Don't lose heart, I feel equally isolated in Derbyshire. I volunteer on the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway and have seen a number of Pentax users there on the various photo days, but none have been local !

Hi, Steve,

Today, by a staggering coincidence, I met another Pentax user at a Norfolk Nature Reserve ! We talked cameras, and I told him of a second-hand dealer in Norwich. Gave him PentaxForum details, so we may see him sometime - I hope.

Hi all,
As others have said, there are few Pentaxians around, but I sometimes bump into another at outdoor events in Bury St Edmunds or the Suffolk coast.
I've just taken the plunge into MF with a 645d, 55mm, and 200mm lenses bought from Germany, to go with my film and digital cameras.
Let's hope 2021 give us more opportunity to get out there!
Regards
Rob

Displaying my usual exquisite sense of timing, I purchased a Sigma 150-500 lens to add to my recently-purchased K3. Timing issue ? It arrived two days before Lockdown ! So, every so often I take it out, clean its contacts, give it a quick check over, and assure it that as soon as bus transport to the coast is both legal and viable, the two of us will be visiting local nature reserves. But in the still of the night I can hear it quietly whimpering as it contemplates yet more seclusion in darkness.
