Hello,

I'm an amateur photographer still learning the ropes.

For gear I have PENTAX glass and one body:

PENTAX *ist DL

smc PENTAX DA 50-200mm F4-5.6 ED lens

smc PENTAX DA 12-24mm F4.0 ED AL (IF)

smc PENTAX FA 43mm F1.9 Limited

smc PENTAX DA 16-45mm F4.0 ED AL

smc PENTAX DA 18-55mm F3.5-5.6

If you have any questions about the above lenses or body, I would be more than happy to answer them.

I also use a discontinued model of Manfrotto tripod with a ball head:

Manfrotto 3021BPRO w/o Head

Manfrotto Heavy Duty Grip Ball Head

I've taken the tripod apart and cleaned it, so I have some experience there.

I also recently purchased a Metz 48 AF-1 flash gun that I'm still learning to use.

I also use a specialized battery charger for my NiMH batteries if you have any questions about that too.
