I found the PDML via a Pentax site search in the early 90s. Always
enjoyed the flame wars---some of them anyway, but never enough time to
read all the messages back then.
Stated with Kodak brownies in grade school. Graduated to an Argus C3 in
High School. Picked up a Petri (????) in college. In 1968, when my
career started taking me to many foreign destinations, I picked up a
Spotmatic along at 28mm and 135mm lens. In 1974, I picked up a
Spotmatic F (which I still have, its been "rebuilt" a couple times) no
change in lenses. In the 90s, I picked up a 300mm and 100mm Macro,
some other odds and ends, and a couple of ESIIs on ebay while the F was
in the hospital, which I'll probably give away one of these days.
I went digital early in the 2000s with a Coolpix 990 followed by a 5000,
two 8400s and finally a 7700. Still have all but the 5000, which wore
out. I found that the small size and reasonable price of these fit
well into the field work environment I used them for---need for mobility
made it hard to carry a large bag of equipment, leaving anything
unattended risked damage and/or theft. I also found that I very much
like the Nikon Speedlight flash system. I currently have a couple of
SB800s.
Am currently toying with the idea of picking up a K3 for existing light
work and to possible get to use a few of my old Pentax lenses again.
Drawback is size, need to go to a new flash system, and much less field
work where I really needed better existing light capability.

Serious question: How did you find out at the PDML?
(Everyone please feel free to pipe up here.)
I probably found out about the PDML from the Pentax official web site,
way back when the PDML was actually run by Pentax. But I'm wondering
how *anyone* would even learn of the PDML's existence these days.
