First day with K10D

Somebody picked my K100D from ebay yesterday. So now it is the start of K10D era. I am not terribly thrilled by the camera though. The review after shot is still a bit slow. It does not show until it saves the image into the card. Maybe my card is not up to the speed. Anyway, it is not as fast as my old 20D. Maybe I am not familiar with it enough. I will wait a few days to get used to it.

I took a walk with the 100/4 macro around. K10D seems cannot meter the lens consistently. F4 is good, F11-16 is kind of over-exposed. It was quite windy. And it killed most of my relatively slow speed shots. I was lucky to spot a couple of locusts. Well, the 100/4's macro ability stands to the test. It only goes 1:2, but it is well enough for the locusts. And in 1:2, the work distance is fairly good. And fortunately the locust was fairly dumb and did not move a lot.
