Default A New Love
Just boasting here but after several years of saving, I finally have some new gear:

Pentax K5 and
Pentax 50-135 f2.8 ED [IF] SDM

I was looking at the Sigma 70-200 f2.8 but decided that it was too large and heavy for me.

Happy!

as a long time pentaxian, I can say that I am jealous. I'm saving up for a K-5 too. Hopefully some weddings will pan out so I will have the funds.

Thanks Guys,
I'm a long time Pentaxian myself, having fallen in love with my Dad's K1000. I still have this camera and still love it although I don't use it at all now.

I speak in Maths, I love your photos! They are Awsome.
Inkista, I love your Nature shots!

I have to admit that I did look at the Canon 5DMKII but the Canon cameras just feel wrong in my hands, where as the K5 felt like it belonged there Very happy with my choice.

Congratulations! I just bought a used K7 (could not afford the K5) and the 50 mm 1.4 lens. Hoping to get out this weekend with camera and several lenses to play.Enjoy your new toy.
