Went to a dr appointment this morning, and they have a slide show running on a wall mounted tv, with a lot of excellent landscapes, wildlife, and bird shots from all round the Alaska, BC, PNW, Montana region. Turns out they are all taken by the doc, mostly with his K-5ii and K3 paired up with a Bigma and now a 600 (I think that's what he said, he was poking around in an ear at the time...). He did say he has a much bigger challenge getting the birds, but he certainly manages! And he is training his teenagers in the ways of the Pentax as well ��

We went to the circus last weekend, and in the row behind was an Asian family (non-English speaking), the mom had a nice red K-30 shooting away. :cool: Now, having seen it, I wish I'd been able to get the red one instead of black, but Oh Well I still love it. :D

Due to some uncertainty in the employment arena for the spousal unit after our return, I opted for a minimal outlay... Updated the K100D to the K-30 with the 18-135, and I will take along my DA 12-24 for scenic days (when it's not wet). For longer reach, my Promaster 70-300 and an ancient 2x TC from my wife's old ME Super. Not greatest on the IQ, but easiest on the wallet (even compared to a long lens rental). I've been pretty impressed with the results the K-30 can get with the old glass I have on hand...
(edit) Lithium battery for K-30, plus the AA adapter and four sets of Eneloops plus chargers for both :-) And Oly XZ-1 pocketable camera and supplies...

Taking a cruise to Alaska next week. It will be interesting to see if there are any other Pentax users out there on deck in the rain or out on the whale-watching boats in the salt... WR was one of the prime reasons for upgrading my rig from K100D to K30/18-135 :cool: Hoping for some good close-up time with our cetacean buddies!

And scuba gear... It's not a bad little underwater camera, although you do have to provide adequate lighting for it (especially in our murky soup, I mean water, around here)

I think I'd have responded with something like "At least owning a Pentax doesn't make me an ***hole, like your Nikon has done to you." And *then* I'd have "accidentally" tripped over his tripod... :cool:
