First photo with a vintage Pentax K10D

by kasperbergholt

Got inspired by a photo shared a couple of days ago - taken with a K10D, which lead me to eBay. It landed yesterday afternoon, mint condition, shutter count below 7,000.

Very nice camera!

The menu system was a bit confusing at first, but I soon realized that the firmware (version 1.0) needed an upgrade to unlock several standard features—like mapping ISO settings to either of the two control wheels. I've got that sorted now.

I thought I'd share a couple of photos taken with it. The first one is from yesterday evening.

Next up are some flowers. Turned out to be a tube amp instead.
