Subject: [Leica] Some 1st shots with my new Pentax *isDS digital

While waiting for the R digital module to show up, I bought this Pentax 
digital with which I can use all of my old M42 screw-mount lenses as 
well as with the newer auto-focus glass.

Here's some of my first shots with it.  They're all shot as JPGs, I hope 
to try RAW sooner or later, emphasis on sooner:

The first shot is cropped by about 10%, the rest are uncropped.
The fisheye lens used is my "old" screw-mount 17mm Fisheye-Takumar.

I think it's a pretty good digital camera, here's the full file for the 
second image... you can make out the stripes on the flag in the center 
of the picture, It's 1.6mb, so it may take awhile on dial-up.

Just for the heck of it, I tried some shots with some Nikon lenses, 
(before I sell'em) handheld onto the isDS:
