I have aggressively pursued photography my entire life as an experienced armature .
Purchased a KP right when they came out about a year ago because it reminded me of a LX Camera from the past that I used to own.
Before that it was several Spotmatics that I bought new (tells my age), then 2 KX's and even a LX for several years.
More recently about 5 years ago I started Digital with a K5 and also a K30 (broke 3 times) , and now its a new KP that im just beginning to feel comfortable with.
I am a 3 decade member of the Camera Guild in Sun City , Az.
Met a Pentax Forum member there recently , and he showed me this site. Im excited and very Grateful.
At 88 I just may be one of the oldest members here , and Im looking forward to a solid 10 years posting my images , learning , making friends , and having fun !
You'll fit right in here... there are many members who used to (and still) shoot Spotmatics, and plenty of KP owners too.

Hi there Helen and welcome. I'm new here too.
