Some testshots with my new Pentax K30, if you don't mind?

Same lens as above at 4.0 - 1/15sec ISO 6400 atomatic white balance and practically just the light from his mobile telephone.

Same lens as above.1/350 at 4.0 ISO100 at 70mm

Lens 35-80mm ISO 400 1/90 at 6,7

Same lens as above 1/125sec 5,6 ISO 280 at 68mm

Lens 35 - 80mm at 5,6 - 1/125 ISO560 at 68mm

Same lens again. 1/90 - 5,6 ISO 280 at 53mm
I can only say subjectively, as all photography actually is, that it is a promising camera, not at all heavy and the walk about lenses I have for it are only 75cm long at 49mm in diameter. Good enough for me it seems albeit after just one day in my possession. I have set the ISO in automatic which ranges from ISO 100 to 3200 which is fine by me. I am so far impressed.

The lady is giving you an earful, Ivar, and I'm sure you desrved it!

Nice results. Bonnie dog, too!

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

Thank you Brian. As said and as I believe, the camera is fairly small, light and has a quality which can be compared to the best on the market at a much lesser price. I don't reckon I'll take better pictures than before, but I am content and at ease with it.
