Bought a Pentax K10D

I'm also a big a big Pentax fan, I've had a k20D for about 12 years (and sadly a broken 67)

After discovering Snappiness, I couldn't resit that Snappiness HYPE train and succumb to buying a K10D, having a K20D so I have a few K mount lens, so it was a non-brainer.

So far so good, the SOOC images are great. Will report back with images.

Congratulations - the K10D is still a fine camera with remarkable colour rendering.

If your camera also suffers from the known back focus issue: it can be fixed relatively easy via the debug mode of the menu. Been there, done that.

I'm looking forward to see your photographs with that camera. 🙂

Veni, vidi, serravi.

Thanks for the information @eckyh . I'll definitely look into this.

Actually, I have found the autofocus to be as actuate as the K20D.

Again, thanks.

The K10D loves pinkish and greenish colours. 😀

Awesome! I love my Pentax K10D. I keep it even with my newer Pentax models as my go-to old DSLR to inspire creativity. I upgraded my focusing screen to a split focusing screen to aid manually focusing, but the focus confirmation and just eyeballing worked fairly well for me as well. It's good fun to adapt various m42 lenses to.

Happy snappin' 🙂
