After owning a Nikon D40, D90, D7100, D700 and then going to 35mm film and then 6X4.5 and even 6X9 film and then to Sigma DP Merrill and then to DP Quattro 3 I found out by accident about Pentax and how special the K10D is.
I am in the process of selling all of my camera gear and sticking with the K10D. I just got the camera about 3 weeks ago and they offer such a bang for the buck that I bought another one! The prices on these have bottomed out!
From two different auctions, and for under $170 shipped I have:
2 K10Ds (one has 18,307 clicks on it and the other 6,373!) Shutter is good for 150,000.
5 batteries
1 official battery grip
2 chargers
4 bags (2 of them just for the camera and 2 larger ones that hold everything else)
2 18-55 II DA lenses
1 manual
Oh yeah, and I also bought two of the "Amigos". I am attaching some photos shot with Amigo 31.
Yesterday I just bought the Amigo 77 and it should be here soon. These lenses are about $1,000 new but you can find them for about 60% off used on ebay. The Amigo 77 I bought on Amazon with a bunch of gift cards so basically it only cost me like $150.
The K10D is an awesome camera and the features it has totally blow away all of my previous Nikons away.
All photos are SOOC, with 0% photoshop/lightroom. The last photo was converted in camera from color to B&W just to show you how special the processor is. I love the SOOC photos, less time spent in LR for someone like me who is not a pro!
Enjoy (the
Trippa, hahaha)!
