Welcome to the non-lurking side of the list.
Like you, I'm a non-digital non-AF Pentaxian. My most commonly used Pentax bodies are my MX and LX (I only recently got the LX). I'm also primarily a b&w shooter, mostly with Tri-X or HP 5+. I've also got a few Spotmatic bodies that I dust off once in a while, when I want to really get back to basics.
I'm also a cyclist, but on the road, thank you. <g> One gets so muddy on those mountains bikes, although dirt is sometimes more forgiving than concrete.
There are quite a few who still use the old manual focus gear, like we do, so your questions will find a few sympathetic ears, I'm sure.
Nice to hear from you, frank in Toronto, Canada

Hello everybody,
Since I've been reading your PDML for a while I guess it's only polite that I introduce myself.
I live in Stourbridge, England (no, that's not London). I've been a Pentax user (MX) since 1979. I've been a professional photographer on and off since about 1985 (way more off than on). These days I'm a freelance computer consultant (last 7 yrs). I specialize in digital imaging. My preferred platform is Macintosh and my preferred media is film. I currently use an LX. I process b+w myself and use (don't laugh) Kodachrome for colour work. I'm pretty out of date with a lot of the Pentax stuff, so expect questions like "is the A35-105 f3.5 any good?". I have little interest in politics and my spare time is spent skateboarding, mountain biking and night photography.
Nice to meet you all.
Ian
