I subscribe to this, mainly for the discount in servicing and some of the
adverts. As a magazine read, it isn't bad, but quite a slim read. However,
as it's dedicated to Pentax, it's got to be a winner!

I've been getting it for a while. Must be a full year now, maybe more...
I'd say that if your interest emcompasses all things Pentax, and you are 
fond of the older Pentaxes as well as the newest ones, if you like some 
technical articles on equipment, techniques and reviews, you'll find all 
of that there.
Then there are the illustrated ads, the descriptions of accessories for 
most Pentaxes, and always several great photos in the Gallery, from 
Pentax users, covering all manner of subjects.

There is a regular column on the latest Pentax products, the Gift Shop 
pages, with good photos of Pentax goodies.

The editor, Peter Bargh, is a fine fella. Not above a letter or two on 
pertinent subjects, if you are lucky... Very easy to get along with.

If I had an opportunity to review an issue on the newstand, liked what I 
saw and wanted to take it home with me for US$7.50, would I?
You bet!
