Fun with the K10D
Two and a half weeks and I already have racked up 1350 shutter activations of my new K10D. I'm going to wind up wearing this thing out in only a few years if I keep this rate up! :)
Just before the airshow last weekend I added a second lens (SMC Pentax-DA 50-200 f/4-5.6) and a Pentax AF540FGZ flash to my lineup. The flash is likely going to get returned to B&H - it consistently underexposes EVERYTHING by at least a full stop, usually 2+.
I got some great results from the show, but need a longer lens before the next year's one. I'm tempted to buy a Tamron 70-300 lens soon (The Quantaray rebadged version is only $150), and maybe next summer go for either the Sigma 135-400, the infamous "Bigma" 50-500, or the Sigma 100-300 f/4.

With the exception of the $*)@!*#)@! port-o-john blocking part of the view, this is my favorite picture so far:
