I use FB for other interests, and yes, it is far more active in the main. Some groups may go a few days without a post, others multiple posts daily. Of course, Gen Z (or is it now Gen AA) decry FB, but I'm happy for them to use their Tik-Tok etc and leave FB to us old fogies. I'd join a Pentax

Just as a matter of interest, is there any interest in a Pentax Discussion Facebook Group? I admin a FB group with over 800 members, it’s quite fun. Photos are posted daily and response is swift. Sure, you battle with the evil that is Meta, but if one is selective about viewing habits, it

The list was originally about Pentax gear and photography. With new Pentax products few and far between and many members shooting other brands, there’s little to talk about. And there’s Facebook where photos usually garner more interest. Paul > On Jan 6, 2023, at 5:41 PM, Rick Womer wrote: >
