Some lovely detailed shots with rich, natural colours. There is something about the way CCD sensors render a scene. Pity they died out. Imagine what they'd be like now with ten years of development. Most of us don't bother about video (I think) and I bet they'd have found a way to improve high ISO performance.
Best wishes,
Andrew

That's the problem with the sensors today they are trying to do to much and that means it dose a crap job
That cc'd sensor even 13 years on out strips the new one for colour quality
If Pentax just concentrate on still with a sensor of that quality
Better focusing more pixels and the iOS of today they would blow the opposition out the water bigtime

There's no difference Gary's used uncalibrated colour space anyway......
So maybe that's what you like
Nice shots Gary.

This Leica fanatic couldn't see any difference
http://www.reddotforum.com/content/2015/02/the-great-debate-ccd-vs-cmos-part-1/
Also I don't think Live View works with CCD
Consider yourself lucky that you didn't move over to Leica for CCD
Some of them have corrosion problems ...
https://www.dpreview.com/news/4370451251/leica-announces-plans-for-peeling-ccds-...
Although Pentax users might enjoy that... something extra to moan about If they also run out of sensors.... great! moan! moan! and moan again!

I don't think I've ever used a calibrated colour space on any of my images. I did have a look at the Leica comparison and have no problem with the guys results. However, when I open images from my *istD or K10 or Minolta 7D in PS, I do see a noticeable difference in appearance between those and my CMOS based bodies.
I probably will do a quick side by side test just to see what the same image looks like from both sensor types.
How many here are using calibrated colour space and what are your preferences?
How do you manage your colour space Algi.

No calibrated colour space here, and I miss the CCD sensor.
Sadly my *Ds died when His Nibs left it loose on the back seat of the car and braked suddenly for a Yokel Yank driving a tractor who pulled out across the road without looking. Camera went flying and died .

davidwozhere, on the *ist D it is Frame Number that tells the shutter count in the EXIF.

Very briefly check that the camera menu item is set to sRGB (default) and that your editor is set not to change it on import and that any saved files are saved as sRGB.
The other alternative is to use AdobeRGB throughout, but Pentax save the files with a different prefix if you do.

If you use AdobeRGB throughout, be careful to change it to sRGB for web or colours can look very washed out. Even prints can be livened up by using sRGB.

Most browsers nowdays can handle colour correction so it doesn't matter if it's sRGB or AdobeRGB.
AdobeRGB JPEG's are very useful commercially see...

Also here's a comparison between the two....

I'm well happy with the lens and will now try it on the K-1 and as for my *istD, it's a classic Pentax masterpiece.
