How many of us still own - and use - the old 6 megapixel DSLR bodies? For Pentax, this includes the *ist D series, and K100D series. Despite their age and technical limitations, I find their images quite nice, especially with vintage lenses. I love the CCD sensor rendering, and simplicity of these older models. If you're still using one of these relics, post your photos! Images from early 6 mpx models by other makers are welcome too!
No, but I still wish I had my first DSLR with 6 Mpx CCD sensor. I'm thinking of buying one 2nd hand someday, so I claim it back.
I also had something for the CCD and their reproduction of colours.

Some of the pictures I still have though:

It is, minus the AF It's a fine lens, almost prime-like imo.

That really captures the Long Island fall colours in exactly the way I remember them from my teenage years there. Beautiful.

I just bought a Pentax 6x7 200mm f4 lens for use with my 6x7 2x extender (gray) which I think will be good for macro / bird photography.

I hope to get a blur like your first photo of the butterfly

By the way, I love 6mp cameras because they don't need much pp, and keep me away of mirror-"more" temptation
