Tim - some very powerful and fine shots you have made.

I really love the #1 and 2 - one of them could have made it to this week competition - I reckon....

Some really nice landscape shots. # 2 got something that interested me. Lovely fog/mist. Well done!

This is a thread - which through up some memories....

This summer - I decided to jump to DSLR - and looked through the Internet for review - also at depressingreview

My sister's boyfriend used a N**** d80, and after some initial reading I decided to jump for this as well

I went to the local camerastore to try it out. I was very excited.

Something funny happened in the store. I came home with the Pentax K10D

Initial I thought - damm that guy was a good at sales.....Why did I end up with this camera - a camera I didn't think of before I went out to buy one.

First 2 weeks I was afraid I did the wrong purchase....and started to look for reviews on the K10D. Some of the reviews wasn't that good.....but my curiosity helped me move on.

All the time I compared the camera with D80 - We tried to take same pictures - and I was pleased. Very pleased.

After another search on the Internet I found this forum - And that really sparkled!! I was happy to see an entire website and forum only for Pentax .

Now - a few months later - Im extremely pleased I picked the K10D. I have talked with the shop where I bought the camera several times. They are very happy about the Pentax K10D, and they love the build quality - mainly because the Canikon keeps crashing

Well - thats just my story.

Now I just have to control the LBA!!!!

Thanks for the comments.

It is supposed to be a dark one. Not to dark of course - looks pretty decent from here - I use my laptop and my work computer - so I have two computers to view it on.

Probably both set pretty much the same then.....

The chainlock was not good...so I removed it...

I found this at the harbor near our sommerhouse.

Old fishing hut.

I did some PS work.

Sigma 28-70 EX f2.8 lens.

lol - with prices like that - it will probably be in my next life

Just to follow up on the topic we had about the 600mm lens. I asked the high bidder about the lens. This was his reply.

Dear jkoppenm,

You mean this lens: smc PENTAX A Star 600mm f5.6 ED IF ?
Yes it looks it is scam. I've asked for additional confirmation - picture of lens serial number and small sheet of paper with my name.
I did't received any replay till now
