    Site looks great. Appreciate all the work going into this.
    Pentax is my main brand. I have ist*DS, K10D, K20D, K7, and K-1. K-1 is modified by Kolari Vision for full spectrum. Also have Pentax LX and 67 film cameras.
    Thanks,

    Hi and yes :-)
    ... I wonder if "reply" works...

    I'm shooting with K-S2, K10D (rarely with ME or SFX)

    This will be a great place - no doubt!
    It will never depend on one rich person which doesn't care about how much others loose as a result of its decision (yes 'its' - it's without heart).

    I was 'Kerusker' over at DPReview also since May 2009.

    I try to post an image now - too big (4 MB)

    After downsizing it seems to work.
    It's a test shot when the K-1 came out.

    Pentax is one of my main systems having K100d, K7, K5ii, Q, QS1 as well as half a dozen K mount film bodies, but I also shoot Micro Four Thirds & Sony E fairly regularly & dabble in large format... (My A7ii & my GF2 are both full spectrum)
    I tend not to use the brand specific (sub) forums much, as most of my photographic discussions cover any brand, or a combination as I adapt lenses quite a bit (my reason for getting the Pentax Q)

    Just joined from DPReview. Primarily use KP but also have K1, K3 and Q handy. The Q is my concert camera.

    Hopefully this site goes well. I know some don't like PentaxForums.com but a shoutout to them as well.

    Hello to all. Will try to participate time to time in this forum.
    Have / had many Pentax DSLRs as well as Ricoh GR APS-C models.
    Now my main camera is K-1 and it is MONOCHROME converted (debayered). So, if anyone is interested in monochrome Pentax DSLRs, some models can be converted by me (for price ask personally, but it is not less than 499 euro at the moment)
    Chears!

    Pentax is no longer my main system but I still have my K-3 and a few relatively modern lenses, along with many, many legacy ones and a bunch of film cameras.

    It is a great relief to see this effort underway. It will take awhile to regain the energy of the old site but it will probably be even better before long.

    The K20D was a workhorse of mine of quite some time. I mainly used the 16-50 on it as I found it a great performer. Worked well for prints out to 48” wide. It was one of three bodies I used extensively on trips to the southwest.

    Hi,
    just moved over from dpreview. Kept my old name and so some of you me remember me from there. Just ordered my data and files from dpreview. Maybe I can bring in some old stuff that seems to be useful for us from the past. But let's see first, in which form the material will arrive.
    My cameras are K1 and K3. I had K-S1 which became useless after the classic solenoid problem. Gave my K5 to my daughter and still have K10D.
    I am into Pentax since more than 40 years, starting with ME.
    My main interest is macrophotography and landscape.

    Glad to meet you here!
    Holger

    I made it!

    Glad there's a new home for us. I still have my K-30 and K-3, but I'm always shooting with my K-3 Mark III.

    If you aren't aware, I have a YouTube channel that focuses on PENTAX.

    My Pentax cameras include a K1, a K1 Monochrome, a K3 Monochrome, one K-70 and a K3III. Oh and the oddball, a full=spectrum Nikon D7100. Just this week sold my D500 birding kit. The K3III is the better and more enjoyable camera, so the D500 wasn't getting much use the past couple of months.

    In case it's not obvious from the camera list, I've taken a particular interest in black and white work lately, tho I still get in a few hours with wildlife every week, plus the occasional portrait or model shoot.

    Anyway thanks to Luftless I made it here too! I'll swing in once in awhile.
