Latest Review Posted Pentax *ist DS2
I bought my DS2 this spring (2011) in order to get started with dslr photography.

Some times I prefer to just shoot wide open (or stopped down with EV) on Av or Tv. These ‘old‘ ones are so far better than the 18-55 kit lens and so much cheaper than the DA primes for me to consider these obstacles as being anything else than charming.

Itīs easily corrected and is also part of the getting to know your camera routine, itīs fun. Anyway, I shoot RAW all the time, so no words on jpg. performance? And not on flash either, which I almost never use. The noise getīs really bad at ISO 3200. Night shots are tripod shots with this one.
I miss weather seals a lot and alw...
