New Member, long-time Pentaxian

Hello.  I'm a new member and have been a long-time Pentaxian since back in the mid-60's with my first.... a Pentax Spotmatic.

I liked my K-50 so much, I bought a second one.  Love this camera.  It suits my needs & budget perfectly.  I own more older, legacy Pentax lenses than I have time to list, but find some of them an absolute delight to use.  Being obsessed with sharpness, I tend to stick with lenses that have proven themselves to me.  My FA-50mm f:2.8 and FA-100mm f:2.8 macros are, without question, the sharpest lenses I've ever used in my life.  Second would be my Pentax-M 50mm f:1.7.  I also own several third-party lenses and I'm quite partial to the Vivitar Series 1 line.  Many scoff at Pentax and especially the older, manual lenses, but those people, for the most part, have never had the pleasure of trying them.

Looking forward to participating in the forum.
