Enjoying the big old GX-10 (pics)

As a former Pentax DSLR user and current Samsung NX enthusiast I kept looking at my former Pentax system. Not because I missed it for the picture quality (NX200 + 30mm rocks!), but nothing beats a good old heavy DSLR when it comes down to external controls and a bright optical viewfinder.

This month I bought a 5 yr old Samsung GX-10 (Pentax K10d clone) to have a large DSLR again just for fun and using my old Pentax lenses. I also bought the Pentax 18-55 WR kit lens very cheap (€ 75,-) so I have a weatherproof combo now.

So far I like it, its really fun to use the GX-10 despite it's age:

They are nice, it is fun to experiment with new gear even when it is retro!
