I still have my *ist D (what a pain to type that on a BlackBerry) with the grip and an A50 1.7 in my office. I use it for all Chemistry's web photos. It's slow and, by today's standards, pretty low res. Using a MF lens solved the AF speed problem. I just keep abusing it. I did like that body. It felt solid and worked, probably because I had no real expectations. I'd sell it if I got an offer (wait for Friday) but I'll remember it fondly. I won't miss the K10D.
The bodies just change too quickly with DSLRs. You can only get attached to the lenses. -----Original Message----- From: Charles Robinson <charl...@visi.com> Sender: pdml-boun...@pdml.net Date: Sun, 29 Aug 2010 20:30:42 To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List<pdml@pdml.net> Reply-To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List <pdml@pdml.net> Subject: Re: I think I'll keep the k7 :-) On Aug 29, 2010, at 19:50, Adam Maas wrote: > > I can say the same for the K-x.

Oh, I could go on and on. Have I mentioned recently that it's just sitting on a shelf in my house? What to do, what to do. I guess I'll keep it as a spare in case (gasp) anything should (gasp) happen to the K7 requiring it to be sent in for service. -Charles -- Charles Robinson - charl...@visi.com Minneapolis, MN http://charles.robinsontwins.org http://www.facebook.com/charles.robinson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
