Well, I just wanted to start off by saying that I'm back! I used to always read the PDML to get information, help, etc. with my technique and equipment... but sorta lost touch with photography as a whole. I purchased a point-and-shoot for ease of traveling and it did OK considering it's limited functionality. Time goes buy, I get busier at work and I forget about some of the simple pleasures that made me happy.
Then something happened last week... I was cleaning out my apartment getting ready to move in with my fiance, and noticed all my Pentax film equipment sitting there, alone. I started reminiscing about my lenses, the good times I had going out looking for that one shot. I thought it was a shame this equipment was sitting there doing nothing and decided to sell it off. Then as I went through it all, I couldn't get myself to part with my lenses. My 43mm Limited, my 24mm 2.0, etc. Then it dawned on me... I could sell off my older bodies and use the money to purchase the K100D, and put those lenses back to use. I also decided to do this before we tie the knot (hehehe), since I wouldn't need my wife-to-be's approval. I mean, one of the main reasons I didn't use the older bodies was the hassle with using film, getting it developed, etc. compared to the instant gratification of digital. With that said, I was sooooo excited to try out the K100D, I bought it. And what better time to try it out than right before I go to Europe next week for my best friend's wedding. I just wanted to say thank to everyone at the PDML! It's good to be back, and see many of the familiar names still around! Happy shooting!!!
