If you have another digital camera, could you post an image of it attached to your K10D :
I have a Canon Ixus somewhere, will hunt it out and put a pic on tomorrow.

Was looking to change the eyepiece on the K10D for a better close up option when doing macro work and had settled on the O-ME53 magnifying cup.
Just before I bought it I read on another forum that the Nikon DK-21M unit actually fits the K10D so as it was half the price I decided to take the risk.
It turned up today and I have to say it fits perfectly and seems much clearer than the standard one on the Pentax.

But for making it my personal favorite of your excellent pictures posted so far, the bee should have been looking to the lens, so the eye contact would make it a absolute winner in my book.

Tell me about it, I saw him sitting on the metal fence post, took the shot from behind then went round to take one from the front.
He took one look at me and promptly flew off .. I have no idea why

Let's just say I'm sticking with the K10D until I find out where it's all going

Quote: Speculation has it that the camera will be released close to Photokina 2008 in September, and the distributor also let slip that there may be a full-frame Pentax DSLR released around the same time.

Oh great, just after the cashback deal on the K20D finishes then

Re K10
If you have the latest firmware you can change the ISO by pressing and holding the OK button and turning the front wheel
That will do nicely thank you very much

There does not seem to be any options for the edial in manual mode.
Seems a bit of a waste as the aperture is set on the lens.

Thanks anyway.

Was taking some photos yesterday with my 300mm K mount in manual mode and when putting them on the computer I noticed a lot of noise. Works out that somehow it had got onto ISO 800.
With other modes you can set it to auto and limit the iso but it seems you cannot do that in manual?

Also the lens seem to overexpose quite a bit so I turn the front wheel 3 times to change the exposure to how I want it but to change the ISO I have to use the FN button, is there any way to put it onto the back wheel.

Thanks.

I think it's pretty much perfect as it is.
