Welcome Jon. It's nice that "new" people want to join this special bunch of funny, nice, stupid, humorous, nirdy, intelligent, skilled, artistic, technocratic etc. film and CCD users - not to mention users of Pentax gear - 50 years to 2 days old - of cource... As fior the lenses, I don't know, but be confident - someone allways do. :) Jens Bladt mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hjem.get2net.dk/bladt
-----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: Jon M [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sendt: 30. maj 2004 19:00 Til: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Emne: Newbie to the list Hey y'all! Just thought I'd introduce myself. My name is Jon, and I'm a Pentax enthusiast from North Carolina, USA. I got started with a K1000, and have recently aquired (super cheap) an A3000. My current selection of glass is as follows: SMC Pentax-A 50mm 1:2 Sears 80mm-200mm 1:4 Vivitar 24mm-48mm 1:3.8 (rarely used, wobbles and is clunky-huge!) I've been considering the SMC Pentax-A 35mm-70mm 3.5-4.5 macro as my next lens purchase, partly to replace the Vivitar lens. Any thoughts about this lens, or suggestions for something better? What I want is something that'll do for most purposes, so I'm not constantly switching from one lens to another. As for what type of photography I do, I take pictures of whatever catches my eye, be it mountains, the sea, a road, or a critter of some variety. I don't have much online, tho I do have this shot of the Blue Ridge Parkway: http://jon.beigetower.org/photo.html Happy Pentax-ing. :) -Jon. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Friends.
