Yes, I have been wowed about how good Nikkor 55mm f1.2 is and really keen to check it out myself.
Speaking of pentaxians in the local area. We have 37 pentax users that are registered in this forum but only 3 of us are really hanging out together.
Time will come when there are more photographers in your region. To be honest, it does not have to be pentax users to hang out with.
