new kid on the block

[hollis]

Hello out there
Just picked up a Samsung GX1S (aka pentax ist d2)
So far the technology involved has humbled me.
I've had to read the manual a few times.

Its been a while since I've used a "real" camera.
I was used to the 50/50 crap shoot of getting an image with my Olympus D520
Now I feel obligated to go out there & capture some good images.
Until the rain stops...I'll just have to shoot whats around me...
like uh...me

I present for your amusement:
my 1st shot with the Sammy & my new Pentax 10-17mm lens
this shot sums up how I feel about my new digi-cam

Hi and welcome to the forums! Since I joined up a couple of years ago, I've found this to be a very helpful and friendly and supportive place to be - I'm sure you will too.

A 10-17mm? That is some wide angle - did you get a couple of lenses in the kit?

Cheers
Mike

hey Mike,
the camera came with the standard 18-55mm.
I always wanted a really wide angle lens, so I splurged.
I cant wait to get Out with this set up.

Wow...International crowd over here...Odessa to London
