Hello. I am a new member here. I've beenm taking photos now and then since the early 70's on my mom's Voigtlander.

I got my first DSLR in December 2012. I chose a Pentax K30 because of the construction, image quality, ability to use legacy lenses with stabilization, and the bright pentaprism 100% viewfinder, the better-than average kit lens, and the great price, especially with the $100 rebate at the times.

I tokk the rebate and a few dollars more and purchased an 3 old primes--a 28 mm f2.8 , a 50 mm F2.0 , and an 135 mm f 3.5. Right now the 28 mm is my favorite.

I like to shoot travel photos and odd stuff that catches my eye.

Here;s a few of my photos:
