Can we have a poll for K20D owners?????????????

This is an old poll from May, so I would just go ahead and vote on the basis of it being K10/K20.

I love projects like this - should be very interesting, and a great way of developing skills and techniques,

Forgot to mention how I use my camera - mostly family photos at the moment, simply because I have limited time to get out and do other things, but when I do it's lots of the other fields.

Work wise, where I take a great number of photos (macro/study/research/whatever) I actually use an Optio W20 - although the quality isn't as good, it is more suitable in an 'all round' way.

Landscapes and family photos mainly, but more recently two weddings with my k100, 18-55, 50-200 and a Jessops 300AFDP flash, shot in RAW, carefully processed with PS Elements 4 and printed on a little HP Photosmart 8050 with 'proper' ink and paper.

The results were astonishing with two very happy couples. Just shows what you can achieve with relatively simple equipment.

Mind you, my own wedding was shot with a Fuji S2 Pro years ago and I can't fault the results, or imagine how they could be any better. Mind you, our photographer didn't print his own photographs.

The only reason that I'm now looking towards a K20 (ork30..?) is that it's become obvious that wedding photography sometimes requires cropping. I can get away with a small amount at 6mp, but 14+ will help a great deal if I do any more of these stressful assigments !

Will never sell my K100, though.

Don't have one a K10 that is.

Hobby.
Not sure how to elaborate on that, a bit of everything.

Travel and stock photos.

Would like to get into photojournalism and macro.

If it moves I shoot it! Wildlife and landscapes at the moment. Hope to graduate into portraits.

Other stuff includes Programme A, Takumar 70-200mm, Rollei Prega 145AF - Still in its box, Pentax Zoom 105R,Olympus OM2n,a Fuji Digital Finepix.

Well,as a Newbie,I thought I`d put my ten penny`sworth in.

Surely it doesn`t matter whether your own specific criteria is covered in The Poll,the point is that someone had the nouse to creat a poll and furthermore,to be fair,it is entitled "What do you use your K10D for?".

Hats off to time-snaps

I`m off to find a "how quickly was your Pentax K10D repaired" poll.

Alfie

I think you need to add student to the poll

NO K10 tried to answer the poll but find I should tick all even if they contradict one another, it is a bit like asking why I breath.
