Hi!
I am actually an American, but I now live in the little, yet beautiful, country of Slovenia.
My interest in photography and Pentax started in the 80's when I started to use my Mom's Pentax ME SLR. I used it mostly for black and white.
Fast forward to 5 years ago... I decided to get a DSLR camera and since I had a couple of old Pentax K mount Prime lenses, I decided to go with the K20D. I bought the K20D and then was surprised with a gift of the SMC DA* 16-50. This lens pretty much covered all my needs so I didn't really try the old lenses.
Then the DA* 16-50 crapped out on me and I stopped using the camera for about a year.
Then I remembered my manual lenses and bought a Katz-eye split focus screen... I took my camera on a small weekend trip and was Blown Away by my pictures... essentially, I rediscovered photography about 5 months ago.
Since then, I've been using only k mount prime lenses such as my 28mm 2.8 and 50 1.7. I have added 2 new (to me) lenses, a 135mm 3,5 and 100mm 2,8.
Right now, I am only shooting with Manual lenses and loving the reconnection to my camera and love of photography!
