Just got a "new" Pentax K-7

[olroy2044]

Arrived from E-bay about a week ago.  Finally pulled the trigger on a Pentax like I wanted when I bought my Canon 20D.  Much easier to use with my K-mount and M42 glass.  Don't own any auto-focus lenses for it, and have no desire to purchase any.  The in-focus indicator and anti-shake functions work perfectly with every lens I put on it.  Still have a lot to learn about using it, but early results are quite pleasing to me.  Both shots are straight out of the camera, with all settings at default, and no post at all:

Tamron 105A close focus zoom 200mm ISO 800 f8 1/4000


Viv/Komine f3.5 200mm @ f8 1/80 ISO 800

I think I'm really going to like this thing!  Love being able to use my vintage glass!

I am sure you will fall in love with the K-7.
It is a fine camera and will amaze you with its capabilities.
