K10D in AP Mag

That's the "18-55", not "16-55" And AFAIK, the Samsung lenses don't have the SMC coating of the Pentax.

And the AA batteries and chargers!

That's not the half of it... I've a stock of CRV3's that I bought in bulk for the istD to use up!!!

I'm sure some of us would be glad to help you out with your problem. Those of us who can't afford the K10D just yet....... (Mind you shipping them to Holland seems a bit extreme but I'm sure there are UK members who'd be happy to help....)

Spirit,
Surely you will still be using the istD, My own intention will be to utilise both bodies to keep the lens swapping down to a minimum, longer lenses on the K and shorter faster lenses on the ist.

None of us will probably be able to put the K down for the first few weeks, but I think after a while it will be whichever body has the most suitable lens on it. Another point is, until we can get hold of replacement batteries for the K we we need back up bodies with pleanty of spare power.

And two sets of cards and two sets of batteries, no problem, just get one of those bags on wheels!

Sell the body, sell the cards and lenses.

...and the lenses?? Sell some lenses?!? Is that really you George??

Dan

I think he means "to George"

I meant sell the batteries, of course!

Whoever buys the camera will need cards and batteries.

I think my istD is staying for at least a few more months, despite how much I bitch about it's limited capabilites in terms of frame rate and burst depth. I'm using it mainly for anything action or where I know it's going to take a few frames to (machine gun style) to get the right shot... It's being a very good servant grabbing loads of equine shots as I'm doing a little project for my other half and her friends who compete each weekend on their horses at cross country or show jumping.

Anywhere where I'm able to take a more methodical approach such as my landscape and macro stuff my 645 and fuji 617 is still king... Although I am cheating and using the D to get exposures and lighting right for the macro stuff before grabbing a roll of film.

Whilst I know that the K10D will solve a lot of my problems and I'll get a better hit rate with the long lenses, I can't really afford to upgrade just yet... Also I'm keen to see how the first batch fares and if there are any issues to iron out before placing my order with Chris at SRS. Perhaps I ought to finally get round to ebaying all my old Mamiya 645 kit? That ought to go a long way to filling the K10D fund...

As and when that happens I'll do my Dad the return favour of finally repaying him for handing down his KM 15 years ago and he can have the IstD to replace his MZ-5 & MZ-7...
