Hi!
I have just joined,
I have fresh bought K10D with 18-55 kit (actualy strong bf issue :-/) and manual 70-210 f 4.5-5.6 Sigma lens.
2 manual lenses: 50mm f1.7 and 28mm f2.8 are on the way.
My favorite places for taking pictures are the forests.
cheers,
P

Welcome!

There will be lots of good advice here should you want some.

There's even a thread to discuss the K10D and one for CCD Sensors which is what the K10D has.

Having a K10D (and a K200D) I feel that the best way to get really great results from that 10MP CCD sensor is to shoot RAW. I haven't tried that many RAW developers but I find that RawTherapee - which is free - gets the most detail out of the files.

Looking forward to seeing some great pictures from your beautiful forests!

Welcome from Chicago!
I think there are some options to correct the back focus problem. The K10 has a lot of people who hack it, swap focus screens etc. I sold mine years ago, and still kind of miss the split-focus screen.

Pentax K10D

Description:
The Pentax K10D was the first DSLR from Pentax to feature a sensor with a resolution higher than 6 megapixels. It also launched a host of new innovative features which would later become standard on all Pentax bodies, such as Shake Reduction and Dust Removal.

It won the Camera Grand Prix Japan "Camera of the Year" award in 2007, and a special brown version with gold lettering was produced to commemorate this.

Welcome and warm regards from Western Australia.
I am dreaming about possibility of taking some photos of Polish Zubr ( Bison ).
I believe that there are over 700 of them living in Polish forests.

Thank you for very kind welcome!
I started to dig how to hack 10d and put it into debug mode, for af correction, for the moment I got stuck how to back from 1.31v of a soft to 1.30v to run this Russian soft...

Thanks for the advices,
And yes indeed raws from this body are superb.
I even tried to shoot at max iso, processed raws with DXO Pure Raw, opened with PS with amazing quality.
For me the raws from k10d worked in that way were even better that those from Sony DSC R-1 (unfortunately no dxo pur raw compatible), which I thought was a king of 10m sensors...
