Russ & Dave, thank you! The colors from this lens and of course the K10D are quite a pleasant surprise for me! With my bridge camera, I always had to do some adjusting pp; with this combo, cropping is all that is needed!

BTW, I love the last one of the fence, good eye catching this one!

Those walkaround lenses are pretty good.

The K10D was the camera that drug me kicking and screaming out of the film era. i loved my old Super Program and used it for 20 years, but times change. The K10D was also my first auto focus camera. i have enjoyed using it and learned a lot from it. These are some of the very first pictures i took with my K10D with a 30 year old Takumar manual focus lens.

The K10D and old screw mount Takumars make a great combination. I moved from Spotmatics to a K10D. It was my first auto everything camera and my first K-mount.

Would it be crazy to purchase a used K10D these days instead of going for the K-3?
I'm not talking money, but rather the ccd sensor as opposed to cmos sensor in relation to B/W conversion images. I will get a K-3 or the mythical FF later on anyway, that is not what I'm asking.
Are there those among us that prefer/like B/W images from the older sensor?
I know that the sensor is not much chop over ISO 400.
I would include here colour and the possible film like images that many suggest the ccd sensor produces with any given or older lenses. The reason I ask is that I have been thinking of collecting some 'K','A' and Vivitar lenses for this purpose along with the K10D, is this a silly idea or am I on to something?
Examples much appreciated.
Thank you.

A K-10D should be a very cheap purchase these days, the difficulty may be in finding one with a low shutter count.
The sensor is wonderful below ISO400 as you are aware and no, it is not a silly idea to acquire one.
I have posted many images in this thread taken by K-10D and some Takumars, Soligors and Vivitars - along with other MF lenses.
Go for it

If you can find a K10D in good condition I would think it a good buy. Even if you have a later model like a K-3 you can still enjoy the image rendering of the K10D's sensor. I do.

And so do I. The difference being that I have owned both since new.

The K10D is a wonderful tool. I recently moved up to a K5II and gave (Permanently loaned) my K10D to a nephew who expressed a real interest in photography. The only caveat to the present is that he can't sell it. We took a major family vacation together and his pictures turned out quite nice.

S-M-C Takumar 28mm/3.5





The composition doesn't really work, because every time I tried to move to a better angle the pony moved too. Like the old saying goes: never work with children or animals.
