Hi, My name is Rey. My first Pentax camera was a ME Super with a SMC Pentax-A 50mm F1.2 lens. I bought it at a pawn shop back in 1986. I also have a Spotmatic SP and PZ-1 and a several manual lenses. My only digital is the K10D. I am ready for an upgrade.

Hi Rey. Welcome from South Africa. I am sure you will find a Pentax dslr to your liking. The camera reviews on the forum can give you the information you need to make a choice.
Best.

If you still have that lens, it's something pretty rare and valuable!

Welcome.

The K10D is a fine camera. I have two 16x24 prints on canvas at the local library. The CCD sensor has a nicer touch with colours than my K-3 that replaced the K10D which I smashed under me on ice.

Hi Rey, welcome from Virginia. We still have a K10D and it's taking great pics. That PZ-1 is also a great camera.

Welcome to the Forums, Rey. My only DSLR is a K10D as well.

Welcome to the forums

you will find friendly members and a lot of knowledge here

as far as the K 10D goes, I have one on the way

The CCD Sensor Cult. I mean Club...
Not too many people shoot them anymore, as no one's making them at this point... but the CCD sensor cameras have a loyal following (some would say obsession) from its fans (crazy? luddites?).

If you love the images you get from your CCD sensor camera, be it a tiny point and shoot or a giant sensor 645D or even a full medium format back, post here and wax poetic about the virtues of a technology that was replaced by a lower cost, video-friendly alternative (CMOS)...
