I am taking care about statistics on battery use for my K100D.
Here are results:
Brand »Heitech«, 2300mAh, 2-3 years old:
28 and 54 shots => gave this set to my nephew (still good for toys)
Brand »Vivanco«, 2200mAh, new with 2hour charger:
412, 446, 280, 320, 520 shots
With body supplied disposables (alkalines):
340 shots
Eneloops, 2000mAh, new, factory charged:
1205 shots
Despite green lights on charger after 2 or 3 hours, I usually charge over night.
Hope, you probably now know, what will be your next purchase….

Where to buy Samsung 10-17?
I already own Samsung d-xenon, cost me 133€ at mimovrste=) - Spletni nakupovalni center. Lens are perfect, same product as DA 50-200 but for half price.
I hope for the same price ratio as in case for DA 50-200.

I also noticed some "play" on my K100 18-55 kit lens at manual focus ring. At first I worried about this. But the same "play" ("LUFT") also has Canon EOS350 kit lenses, and other "modern lenses".
Test pictures taken with my 30 years old M42 lenses (without any play) have slightly softer images, so my worries were gone away.
Suprisingly, this almost 0,3mm "luft" obviously has no noticeably effect on picture quality. But in fact, it is strange.

Yesterday I made some test shots at home from tripod. By accident I forgot to switch off shake reduction, so I repeat shot with SR OFF. Shots were taken at RAW on K100D with Carl Zeiss Flektogon 20mm.
I noticed no visible difference.

Well, shots were made with "green" settings on 30. october one hour after sunset.
Actually I want to express in these 5 pics all the soul of the village Verd - their surrounding (11 springs of river Ljubljanica-first image), new times neglecting tradition-second image, proud of villagers (third picture), order ( fourth image) and finally true fact (last image).
hard to explain exactly or correctly, english is not my native language.
About stacked wood shot - here in my area this is a special kind of art. Sample on my picture is nothing compared to others. Thanks for sugesstion, Iwill prepare a series on this thema.

Just purchased K100D. My previous gear was Canon A60 and Olympus FE130. Also I own 30+ years old Praktica L with two primes, 50mm F1,8, Flektogon 20mm F2,8 and "Kenlock" zoom 70-220 F4. All with 42mm mount of course.
To get familiar with handling, I went out first day just after sunset. I used supplied Panasonic alkalines. Surprisingly, I have made over 280 shots (JPEGs)
before batteries went flat. I used landscape or auto picture setting, no
flash, shake reduction ON and autofocus ON, ISO set at AUTO and later at 800.
Despite low light conditions and long exposures, all pictures were sharp, none
was blurried.
Next two days I shoot aroud 500 photos in the mountains and at the seashore
mostly in "counterlight". I noticed some purple firing on corners.
At the moment, I am just discovering camera preferences in exposure. Seems
that K100 produces rather darker pictures compared to A60 or FE130, but this
is OK for me.
AE lck button is easily hit by accident, have to get used to avoid this. Also,
my new 2200mAh NiMh rechargebles "went flat" after 160 shots, then after a
minute or two, baterry indicator shows full charge, later again half drained
and so on, what makes me very worried. Outside temperature was around 20C. I noticed similar report on some other forum. Wonder what is all about,
performance on alkalines were so great.
At home I also made some test shots regarding continous shots. I photographed stop watch running and from photos find out that K100 shots first 3 shots in intervals around 0,35 sec, than two shots at 0,5 sec interval and consecutive shots in 1 to 1,2 sec interval.
Should be enough for my first post here, I will further inform you about other
interesting expiriences.
