John, Good luck in your future. I have been arounnd the PDML a long time and have been off and on at least twice. You are welcome to come back and join in anytime. This list is certainly beyond a pure Pentax experience - as many of us (myself included) shoot with more cameras and lenses than just Pentax.
I do remember meeting you on several ocassions as a NorCal get together. I especially remember that monster 500mm lens you had when we shot at Fleet Week. That sports finder on top of the lens helped you to get some amazing images that day. Good times... -- Bruce On June 25, 2015 7:57:07 PM PDT, John Celio <[email protected]> wrote: >Hi all, > >I've decided to leave the PDML.
