ccd sensors

[lensoreat]

there just seems to be something about the ccd sensors with certain lenses,    k200d,  and even the six mp k100d super,   that i keep picking the older cameras up to use ,   as fun,   even though the shutter is kinda loud and snaps a bit more ,  and they aren't as good indoors, in low light,   but i like em.    and manual focusing too .

I agree: at low ISO and good light, CCD is hard to beat.

what about the lenses ,   ron ?   do you think that different cameras make lenses act differently ( don't know how else to phrase that )  seems that my older lenses such as the k30 f2.8 and even that m150 f3.5,   and the k 35 f3.5 ,   and some of the A- prime lenses i have all seem to be more clear when i look at the images ccd vs the k-5,   k-5 just has a different look,    unless it is just my imagination.

I don't know about that, David. I don't have a lot of experience with older lenses on newer cameras.

i don't know either,   but maybe there is something with the ccd vs cmos sensor,   but specifically the AA filter -- found this when looking more into lens evaluations :     note the line about the k10d vs the k5,    maybe that filter has something to do with the older lenses - i know you have the k10d,   i don't have that camera yet to compare it to :    http://www.photozone.de/pentax    ( hope this takes you to the right page )  dave
