Hi all. I borrowed a K100D from a friend for the weekend, mainly to get a feel for how the actual process of using a manual lens with it is. I have to say, it's quite easy to do -- lens+ae lock isn't hard, especially since I've been shooting (intentionally) with a fully manual camera (K1000) for the last two years.
I took it along with me for breakfast and the farmers market here in Seattle this weekend. I put a gallery up here: http://gabrielcain.com/gallery2/v/pentax_test/ Comments and criticism welcome/solicited. Overall, I'm pretty happy with the performance. I definitely experienced the suck that is using Alkaline batteries with it, as I've read here. 30-40 shots with no flash, and there they go. I bought a pack of lithiums, and they've lasted for the last hundred+ shots. That's pleasant, but I'm glad that the K10D uses a Lithium Ion battery.
