The K10D came with it's own tethering program, it's call Pentax Remote Assistant and should be on your K10D software disc or see HERE
Supported cameras details HERE
Thanks for the offer John, I might take you up on that, but I'll have a look at PKtether first

Then it dawned on me...I don't know if I need any software, so, the question is: do I and, if so, what is it?
Next question I suppose is: with it tethered, can I shoot and immediately see the image on PC screen, or do I need to look for it? Never used it this way before.

No, film camera lenses are fine, the mount hasn't changed. A mystery that we'd need to look at in the flesh to make any further sense of it.
The "guard" by the aperture lever was longer than on my "modern" lenses.
Being me, I cut the guard down to the same length as on my other lenses and can now use it. (Not that I ever do )

I wasn't sure about the ones with the people in the background, but the birds were (IMHO) too good not to include.
I'd said to the Mrs, "if half of these turn out half as good as I hope, I'll be happy". I don't think my hit rate is as high as 50%, but I'm happy with what I've got.
Only another 500 images to go through!!

So, I came up with two solutions.
I made a sling, ( much cheaper than the shop bought ones ) and I got a wrist strap from ebay for about £10. It is similar to the one shown above, but has a Velcro strap which goes around the wrist and a buckle to secure it. I can then carry it "dangling" from my wrist with no worries about it falling off

We had a day at the falconery centre at Moreton in the Marsh. It's a great place.
Here are some of my shots. The sky was overcast all day, so not a great back drop, but most of the birds stayed low. But by eck, they were fast. Most shots seemed to consist of pre- focusing. Panning and hoping I had the bird somewhere in the frame when I released the shutter. Having it in focus was a bonus!

Sorry, but, really, I can
Number 2 is great, The sky is right ( the others are a bit bright /white ish on this monitor) and the rotors are lovely, just the right amount of blur.
