I still have a few old K-mount prime lenses kicking around. It's too bad Pentax hasn't really kept up with the lens technology, since their cameras tend to be pretty nice.]]>Sep 13th 2006 9:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/13/pentaxs-new-k10d-10-2-megapixel-weather-resistant-dslr/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/13/pentaxs-new-k10d-10-2-megapixel-weather-resistant-dslr/I still have a few old K-mount prime lenses kicking around.

Do some research. Pentax makes some very nice, highly regarded, digital optimized glass. This includes a range of "Pancake" Prime Lenses, and their VERY highly rated "Limited" series. The only absence in their lineup is fast zooms, and those are planned for release in the near future. ]]>Sep 13th 2006 11:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/13/pentaxs-new-k10d-10-2-megapixel-weather-resistant-dslr/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/13/pentaxs-new-k10d-10-2-megapixel-weather-resistant-dslr/Weatherproofing DSLRs has been something notably absent from the market, IMO. And the internal anti-shake requiring no special lenses should be nice competition to Minolta/Sony, by the looks of things.

Can't wait for rewiewage.]]>Sep 14th 2006 12:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/13/pentaxs-new-k10d-10-2-megapixel-weather-resistant-dslr/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/13/pentaxs-new-k10d-10-2-megapixel-weather-resistant-dslr/Sep 14th 2006 12:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/13/pentaxs-new-k10d-10-2-megapixel-weather-resistant-dslr/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/13/pentaxs-new-k10d-10-2-megapixel-weather-resistant-dslr/
Think Sony A100 but with:
* 40 years of SLR & optics experience
* weather sealing
* support for future USM/HSM/etc lenses
and so on.]]>Sep 14th 2006 2:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/13/pentaxs-new-k10d-10-2-megapixel-weather-resistant-dslr/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/13/pentaxs-new-k10d-10-2-megapixel-weather-resistant-dslr/Sep 14th 2006 8:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/13/pentaxs-new-k10d-10-2-megapixel-weather-resistant-dslr/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/13/pentaxs-new-k10d-10-2-megapixel-weather-resistant-dslr/Sep 14th 2006 9:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/13/pentaxs-new-k10d-10-2-megapixel-weather-resistant-dslr/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/13/pentaxs-new-k10d-10-2-megapixel-weather-resistant-dslr/Sep 14th 2006 9:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/13/pentaxs-new-k10d-10-2-megapixel-weather-resistant-dslr/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/13/pentaxs-new-k10d-10-2-megapixel-weather-resistant-dslr/Sep 14th 2006 10:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/13/pentaxs-new-k10d-10-2-megapixel-weather-resistant-dslr/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/13/pentaxs-new-k10d-10-2-megapixel-weather-resistant-dslr/Sep 14th 2006 10:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/13/pentaxs-new-k10d-10-2-megapixel-weather-resistant-dslr/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/13/pentaxs-new-k10d-10-2-megapixel-weather-resistant-dslr/I've wrote an article here. 10x

then you sent the aperture, and the camera does the
rest. If it is a Ka lens, then you can either set
the aperture like a K lens, or select the A position,
and the camera can control the aperture. That's
how my *istD works.

You mention autofocus. Naturally, you cannot
autofocus with a K or Ka lens, but the *istD has a
"focus assist" feature for these (fine) old lenses.
A green hexagon appears when the camera decides
that you have focussed the lens properly, using
focus sensors in the image plane. It's very, very
nice in low light situations, and I would be
surprised if the same feature were not in the K10D.
