Hello
I've not long had my K100D, my first digital SLR, and I'm just starting to work out what it can do. I took this the other day in 'sunset' mode, just as the light was fading and the rain clouds were piling up over the hills. I didn't tweak it in any way in iPhoto. If anything the colours are more muted than the original.
Hope you like it
Comments welcome
Jeff

Do you think 9400 clicks is above or below average for a camera of this age? Difficult I know but then again how many clicks is a K100 good for? jeff

Well after spending all my sparetime crashing about on the Mac looking at Ebay, LCE, SRS etc, I think I may have found my Camera.
A K100 with all the bits it came with !8- 55 lens cables, software and 6 months waranty 9400 clicks £199. It came out better than the *istL2 in reviews, what do you think for a first digital on a low buget? your thoughts Jeff

Many thanks. To get such a well imformed response so swiftly is great .
with the SMC lenses that I got with my MZ30 plus the bag of manual lenses that have turned up over the years my old favorite Takumar etc used with my old MX
I think buying a used body is my best option.
However buying a used camera on line is not easy so I might have to hang on till I get some work back in the UK. Or get someone to hunt around for me.
Thanks again Jeff

Forgive me if this is a stupid question
I'm toying with the idea of buying a digital SLR and as ever trying not to break the bank,will the lenses I use on my MZ30 28-80 80-320 fit and work normally .
Or will all my old kit end up in the back of the cupboard never to see the light of day again PS anyone got a cheep slr body for sale Jeff
