First (lensless) photos with new K10D!

My K10D arrived today! It's awesome, as expected. Only problem is the lens I ordered hasn't arrived yet (the FA 50/1.4). But that didn't stop me from taking some photos!



I know, not very exciting. But anyone have any idea what that shadow is from? I think it is part of the camera frame.

Hi

now that will look good on a canvas ;-)

i love my new k10d too so have fun.

im guessing its because you havent got a lens on it.

Indeed, that's part of the opening in front.

Did you leave the white camera body cap on the camera? I hope you did, because a sensor recording light has a static charge that attracts dust, and if you would take a picture with nothing in between the sensor and the environment that might make a very dusty sensor. At least I hope the shutter speed was fast enough to avoid that...

If you want to take pictures without a lens, you could try using the K10D as a pinhole camera for a while. A piece of cardboard with a hole made by a needle should be a good start. I'm sure googling pinhole camera will get you started...

Congrats on your new camera btw!!

Its modern art. You should work on getting an endowment! LOL.

Thanks for the tip about the dust, I didn't know that! Good thing it has built in dust removal!

The pinhole is an awesome idea, I am definitely going to try that!

My Leica Digilux 2 is to blame for my getting a new camera. The image sensor broke (this is a known defect covered under warranty). It's currently being repaired. But checkout this abstract art!



Sorry for the non-Pentax photo, but it is on topic

Here's the first decent one, taken out our front window. Can they get any sharper? I am using tinfoil.
