Re: The first Pentax DSLR

Thanks for doing this Maoby.

A couple of things to consider - the 18-35 wasn't one of Pentax's shining lights, although some people seem to like them. They were sold off very cheaply when digital came along.

Also, did you shoot these in Raw or jpeg? The *istD's jpegs were pretty ordinary when compared to Raw output. You couldn't fix that by shooting TIFF either, as the TIFF was converted from jpeg, not Raw.

Nice camera though, that really showed its true potential when they released the DA16-45 f4.0.

Cheers
