If you stay awhile you will find that folks here are mainly interested in Pentax cameras, but we talk about all kinds of other things. We try to stay away from politics and religion as they get kind of abusive sometimes. About the only real rule we have, and it is really just kind of a gentleman's agreement, is not to post comments about Ebay ads unless you are the seller. No one wants a lot of competition for something they have their eye on.
The guy who runs the list is Doug Brewer, he kind of volunteered to take over when Pentax USA decided to drop it for liability reasons, so we owe the continued existence of the list to him. He is a nice guy and not much into controlling the list. He only removes folks for bouncing e-mails, so don't let your server get backed up.
Hope you enjoy hanging out with us.

Hi there,
My name is Thrainn Vigfusson, and I joined the list recently. I'm Icelandic and have been using Pentax cameras for 25 years or so. I started with an MX and M 50mm f1.7 lens, but have since then bought a MZ-5n and a MZ-S, along with a bunch of lenses, e.g. the FA 24-90mm, the F100mm f2.8 macro, the 17-28mm fisheye, and two Sigmas: The 70-200 f2.8 Ex and the 400mm f5.6.
I got a used 6x7 two months ago with a 105mm f2.4 lens that I'm learning to use.
I mainly shoot landscape/nature photos with Velvia and Provia these days, but I plan to get back into black and white with the 6x7.
