Shooting Pentax since the early -70īs might have something to do with the fact that Iīve not tried any Nikon DSLR at all, so this post might be somewhat off topic. Still in the regards of comparsion, though.
Anyway, hereīs my story with the K10D;
I was rather dissapointed with the K10D in the beginning, as it gave me quite some trouble at first. The first one didnīt work at all, so I had to send it back.
The next one made me realize that the stop down metering was a bit off, which bugged me some and I replaced my old K and M lenses with A coupled versions. Not a big problem, as LBA is a fun disease.
Then it became clear that my fear for having turned a very poor photographer was because the veiwfinder was way off, resulting in quite leaning picīs and I had to send it to the workshop for adjusting. During the later part of the 8 (eight) weeks it took to get it back, I got me a Canon 40D with lens, just o be able to shoot picīs.
"Iīm selling that darn Pentax when it gets back" was my thinking...
Well, guess what? I like the Pentax better than the Canon, now that itīs fixed and set ...LOL.. Itīs the camera I grab if heading out and that ought to say something about it, as I was pretty p***ed off about it for awhile there.
But another thing occured with getting the Canon...A new world of LBA opened up!
