Haven't posted here for years I think, but it is sad to see such a great resource go away. It was feared it would go this course when Amazon took over. Things did change then, but in a way it is a surprise that it lasted as long as it did.

As many here, my history with DPR started when I was looking into my first DSLR after having photographed with Pentax SLRs for 15 years. In my case that was in 2004. The *istD was too expensive for me back then, but I was reluctant to change brands. Thanks to the first rumours of the coming *istDS that I read here, I waited and have been shooting Pentax since. We had a few fun international Pentaxians meetings in Paris and London in those days.

I did leave when things turned sour and the forum got infested with negativity for a while. I gather that cleared out, but I never came back, unless in search for specific information. The decreasing coverage of Pentax/Ricoh didn't help though. I found a new home at pentaxforums, even if I don't post there much of late either... Most info is there and the community is a good one.

Still... sad to see this go... the end of an era...

grtz, Wim
