hello,,,,,,,,,,and thanks for the kind words and unexpected quick response,,,,,,,,,,,I noticed a quite a few answers blamed ME for being kicked out of a meeting I went to.
no.....I did not do anything to cause this,,,,,,,,,,I am a nice person who is his 50's and I am NOT a trouble maker.....I will tell the story.
I went to a photo club meeting I wanted to join to learn more of this hobby,,,,,,,,,,I went in sat down to watch the presentation a member was showing.after that was 15-20 min. of how are you, nice to meet you etc. my gear was in my bag at the time,,,then one asked what kind of camera i had,,,,,,i removed my K3iis and fa*300mm and then it started,,,,,one back up and said " holy F.... thats a pentax", another said " we dont need people like you in here", another said" sorry you cant join you have a pentax"
so,,,,as you can see its was NOT me,,,,,,,,I hope this makes it clear of what I meant and what people think of pentax or its owners...
PS> I know my K3 will take better photos than a Nican,,,,,why its a Third of the cost!
