The ist D

Hi PDML,

I uploaded a little video "review" of the old ist D:

https://youtu.be/D7AppzyiFII

"Review" between quotes because I'm not talking specs or anything, nobody
should care about that by now. It's more about my history with it and about
the photos I took.

Planning to do the K10D next and the K5 after that.

Comments welcome!

Lovely job Juan. Great audio mix, nicely edited, and you’ve settled on a standardised set of captions (nice touch with the movement). The one issue with shooting close-ups is that small imperfections are visible - including dust. I always give things a wipe down first, lessens the smudges and bits of crap stuck to things ;-)

Top job. We have an *ist D as well so was more than a little interested. My Mrs uses it with a kit lens and it doesn’t disappoint - fine for web images and I even print from it occasionally. She likes to photograph plants which I print on an Epson P50 (black+5 colour) at A5 size to make into cards.

I recently did a paid gig for a boat building charity - a day’s shoot and a couple of day’s edit:

I don't know much about the color rendition of the various types of sensors then
and now, but the image at 2:51 of the Mule & the Mural is beautiful.

It's the kind of brilliant color I loved so much in slide film.

But, no camera is better than the photographer's eye that's behind the
viewfinder. You've got one of the better ones.

Thanks Cotty!  You're right, that camera was dirty! :D

And wow, that's a really nice short. It did make me want to move to a small
coastal English town to learn how to build boats :)

Thank you John! That photo with the mule (horse?) and the mural was totally
a grab shot. Bus station in my home town in the south of Argentina, back in
2005.

Interestingly enough, the mural is still there, or was, in 2015. Very faded
and sad looking, and apparently they added windows to that wall:

Fascinating. I have one in its box somewhere. I can still remember the
excitement of receiving it, my first insight into the world of digital
photography.

How quickly the future becomes the past.

Love your BW street photography, Juan.. very Bressonesque - I think I
remember some of them from days past.  Enjoyed my ist-D.. which wasnt my
first digital (that was a P&S Canon) but it was my first Pentax DSLR. 
Prefer looking at still photos alone in a still format where I can
govern the pace, though.

Thanks Ann! I get it, I also rather look at photos at my own pace. That's
what my website is for btw :)

Enjoyed your photos Juan. Many from your South American safari I think.
My first digital was the K110D (still have it!) which I found myself
using like a sort of digital "film" camera with my old film era lenses.
