ISO Test K10D

[jgredline]

Hi Folks..
Here are some pics I took last week with my K10D at the mission in Santa Barbara...
The lens I was using that day is my 28mm to 300mm Tamron lens..So it was not my best lens by any means...Had I used my 70 f1.8 I am sure I would have got better results...

This picture is at ISO 400..@28mm....I show this one so you may see the dark conditions..


Here is the same shot at ISO 1600 (max on a K10D) @28mm


Here is a similar shot still at 28mm but allot closer and ISO is only 1100


If you would like to check out the details, download the images and check out the properties or exif info....

I get great ISO shots with my K110D and MY100D super, but not nearly as nice as the K10D...Those extra MP make a difference... hope this helps...

That last one looks great. Were you shooting with a tripod or are these handheld? I assume they're handheld since that's the only reason you'd use those high ISO settings.

If you haven't seen them, we have a ton of studio high-res sample photos for digital cameras, including the Pentax K10D. I shoot them at all ISO settings and post the full files, with no post-processing (I do add a logo, some text, and a graybar).

Thanks John
I have not seen them.. I will be sure to take a look. Yes, these where all hand held with no intention of performing any test..I posted this in another forum because there was a fellow who said the Pentax can't shoot these type of pics so I posted what I had in hand...I wish I did have a tripod that day and my 50mm prime...I am sure I would have got much better pics than hand holding with my 28-300mm...
Thanks and I will check out the gallery..
