howdy ya'll
Just got my new to me k10d
... 1st atuo SLR of any sort... learned SLR back in the early 90's with my dads fully manual Nikkormat he got back in college (crazy guy letting his 5th grade son using something like that... then again he had me shooting by the time I was 4 with my awesome fisher price/kodak 110 ;-)
went with the k10d after going to the camera store and findng that pentax had the right feel in my hands... don't need the newest and best but want good enough and the weather sealed body will be nice when I goto Panama in a few months... doesn't hurt that my father in law had a few pentax lenses kicking around
still playing around and having lots of fun shooting as much as I can (something I never was able to do with film)... nice having instant feedback and being able to just delete the opsy shots....
got it on ebay with the kit lens, a UV filter, and battery grip for less then i'd buy a similar canon or nikon at the store... i'm very pleased with it so far.
here are a few shots that came out OK most with the kit lens (and yes a few had something on the filter doh)
this one is taken with a 1.7 50mm pentax M lens (fun little lens)
looking forward to learning a lot while i'm here
thanks
