Originally posted by mickey I use my K10 often with manual lenses such as the M100/4 macro, K50/1.4 and M135/3.5.
I think the K10 gives more pleasing results then the K-5 when fitted with manual lenses, but that's just my opinion. It might be just because I'm a big fan of the K10.
I think everyone have their preferences, but for this one I actually agree with you
K10 does give pleasing results when paired with manual glass. Pity that the high ISO performance is not very good.
Imho K20 also gives pleasing results as well when using manual glass, a bit more dreamy, while K10 has more bite in the colors.
Quote: That's interesting - the K20D being closer than the K10D - I wonder about the K200D.
From my experience with K10D (same sensor as K200D), no, the color signature is not the same. Like I said above it seems to have more "bite". The colors are very rich, and It responds very well when you bump the vibrance slider in lightroom. With K100D I feel that often I have to keep the vibrance slider low (but the results are pleasing nonetheless).
I find K10D colors more true to life though, so it's hourses for courses :x K100D is still my favorite, even after all these years
Just as a sidenote, when doing professional work, clients don't notice and dont care about all these
