Yay!!! I am now the proud owner of the Pentax *ist Ds SLR camera. This is , while not the *first* shot I took with it, close to the first shot, and is the first shot I really spent any time to set up a bit. Woody here is giving the one finger salute to the departing Fuji s7000 (which is for sale, if you want it), and welcoming in a new era.

I have four lenses for this puppy already.. plus an external flash, and a whack of filters.. (no polarizer though, sadly).. and am ready to have some FUN FUN FUN!!!

My lenses:
SMC Pentax-A 28mm f/2.8 MF prime
SMC Pentax-A 50mm f/1.7 MF prime
Sigma 70-300mm APO f/4-5.4 Super Macro II AF
SMC Pentax-DA 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 kit lens

Look out world :)

By the way...


Here's a shot of it.

Congrats Glen!
Need to have a talk with Woody too.
That s7000 dropped 2 ribbons on your page.

(It's getting harder & harder to compete with all the new s on this site anymore)

May you always have memory.
May you remember to confirm your ISO.
and may you always have enough juice.

Hehehehe... welcome to the istDS club. Yes, it may have possibly the worst and most inexplicable name ever, but its a great little camera.

Try not to bump all of my shots of the istDS page too quickly won't you :P!

Nice little collection of lenses to start you off too!

Looking forward to see what you can do with it in future challenges.

bazz.

Congrats on sticking out the saving! I'm always a bit weak for that, and last time round gave into the demons of finance. :-)

Enjoy...

Here's a happy dance for you Glen!


I'm so happy for you! I know you've waited a long time...and now we don't have to listen to your belly-aching about being dSLR-less in chat anymore! ;o)

Awesome, congrats! You know, I got yelled at because now my font color in the chat room is too hard on the eyes :-D haha
