Mark mentioned slow AF. Perhaps, but at the time (2005-2009) I had nothing quicker to compare it with. Seemed OK then.
I like the first two shots - the third doesn't do much for me though.
Have fun with it!

No, it was slow then, too compared to the competition. Noticeably slow. But it was well ahead in actual IQ, handling, and VF, so the slow AF always seemed worth the wait! The fact that we can look at new pics from it today and they still hold up next to the "new" stuff shows just how worth the wait it was!
With rechargeable Li batteries instead of 1,2 V AA batteries AF became already a lot faster. I still have a DS and a Samsung version of it, kept them for use with K-lenses and TTL flash. But with a K5 I use flash very rarely, the new bought P-TTL flash has been used maybe a dozen times since 2011. With a M50/1,4; a FA35/2 and a DA70/2,4 ISO 6400 or 12800 does normally the job at low light.
