I've gotten a K100D as a gift, and as my first DSLR! I adore it and I've been using it for a few months now I have a lot to learn, but here are a few shots I am quite proud of

Great shots, Cara. And welcome to the forum!
(especially love the Hummingbird picture)!

Hi Cara, you've got some great colours going on there: Nice Job.

I'm a *ist DL2 user, so pixel poor like the K100D: But I did buy a K100D on ebay the other day, awaiting it's arrival.

I've found the crew here really friendly, and I can't spend way too many hours browsing threads.

I'm sure you'll have fun too.

Welcome, enjoy your photography the Pentax way

Welcome.
The k100d is a nice little camera with the ccd sensor. I still pick mine up occassionally. The only two modern things I wish it had were at least 12MP and a seperate shutter wheel.
I really like the bird photo also and I can't help but miss those ccd colors that you get to play with. Great job.

Pentax K-mount Lens Compatibility Chart

Pentax bayonet lenses labeled "SMC Pentax" are referred to as "K" lenses in the table below. Other Pentax bayonet lenses have the lens designation as a part of their name as in "SMC Pentax-FA".
Note that "star" lenses work like their "non-star" counterparts unless they are singled out in the table below. So for compatibility of a DA* lens which is not singled out, look under DA lenses, etc.
Exceptions: FA and F "soft" lenses behave like M lenses in terms of metering.

Pentax K-Mount Lens Series Explained: The differences between various Pentax lens series


In a nutshell
There are several series of Pentax K-mount lenses; the ones currently being produced include the DA (digital), DA L (cheap digital kit), D FA (full-frame, digital optimized), and FA (full-frame) series. While all Pentax K-mount lenses ever produced are compatible with all current Pentax DSLRs (in some cases with restrictions in that not all exposure modes of the camera are supported by old lenses), there are significant differences between each lens series and each has different features. Furthermore some of the newer lenses do not work with older cameras. We'll be exploring the differences between the various K-mount series lenses in this article. Read more about specific K-mount lens/camera compatibility here.
