Yes, being a Pentaxian is being a little obsessed

Yes, being a Pentaxian is being a little obsessed. I have admitted to that a while back.

 

I had a post a few Months back where I was talking about one of my best photographic gadget. I own this older 1988

Jeep Wrangler that we modified so that it could go just about anywhere. I find it very useful to go where I wouldn't be

able to go otherwise. Here in California, we have a lot of mountains and desert areas, and of course, miles and miles

of beaches, not all easily accessible. Although many places can be accessed by foot, if you want to go in nature

and be back for supper, you have to drive to your destination. That's why I consider my Jeep as part of my

photographic equipment.

 

I have decals on my Jeep, one that says YJ because the Jeep model is a ...YJ. I have one of Yosemite and one of

National Geographic. Yosemite because I think it is one of the most beautiful place and National Geographic

because I always dreamed of having my photographs features in National Geographic. Although it never happened,

it's not uncommon for people to assume that I shoot for National Geographic.

 

Well, I shoot Pentax and I did not have a Pentax sticker. Of course, there is the LBA sticker, but not everyone

knows the meaning. So I went to work and designed a sticker that shows I'm a Pentax shooter. I incorporated a

silhouette of my Jeep and a Yucca tree in the background. I had a local sign printing business make the stickers for

me in vinyl.

 

Now, I think that all my hobbies and dreams are affixed to my Jeep for the whole world to see. I'm proud of who I am

and what I love.

 

By the way, all photos were taken with the K20D and the new Pentax DA* 200mm f/2.8. Watch for my upcoming

photographer's review of the DA* 200mm and the DA* 300mm. For me, a photographer's review will be one of a non-

pixel peeper. One that shows real pictures taken with the lenses, instead of graphics inside a studio. One that talks

about the construction, the feel and the look of the lenses. It will be about the lenses as a tool for you...the

photographers.

 

That's what being a Pentaxian is all about.

 

Thank you for reading.

I'm working on the review and I am in San Diego till tomorrow (Monday) and have been taking pictures all weekend with the DA* 200mm. I really like the lens. As for the Tatoo, I'll pass. :)
