Hi all.

Glad to see a photo section here. I'm too busy playing with my new 75 to go out snapping but here are a few old ones. This thread will make interesting reading in the dark evenings.

Well said that man! I'm a K-5 user and cannot speak highly enough of Pentax. For APS Pentax offer the best spec and build quality at the keenest price. Plus total compatibility with all previous generation Pentax glass. Great cameras and some fantastic prime lenses. Pentax seem to be overlooked or even sneered at by the Canikon brigade, wrongly.

I think driving a Rover and having a Billingham full of Pentax gear kind of go hand in hand :-)

Not at all Sir,
It's the person behind the glass taking the picture that is the most important sum of the parts

I learnt my photography at college doing a diploma in graphic design. One of the modules was photography and thats where I got into it (not forgetting the Brownie 127 my Grandad gave me when i was a kid of course)
The camera bodys used at the college were Pentax k1000's and I loved them, so much so that when I bought my first 'proper' camera it was a Pentax Me, then I got myself a z10 followed by a z1 what a camera that was

When I moved onto digital camera I went with Canon because that offered me the best choice for the type of photography I do which is motorsport in the main.
Tbh Nikon, Pentax, Olympus, Canon, Sony/Minolta all have great cameras and lenses available and are all more than good enough to meet most peoples needs.
So there you have it, we're not all fanboys for one make or other, love them all really and really loving that new omd olympus camera

Retrotastic or what

P.s, I shoot with a Canon Eos7d/Gripped and various lenses, the best APS camera money can buy........Only Kidding!!
