[Leica] Potential Pentax Purchase

[afirkin at afirkin.com (Alastair Firkin)]

Assistance? Ok: auction off the family and buy the M8 :-) Seriously I have 
only used the Olympus offerings in the dslr: E400 and E500 and held an E3. 
Helen and I are both delighted with the Olympus: its small feature rich 
gives great results (see antarctica and arctic at www.afirkin.com) can be 
used with Leica glass, and really, you will want to use the autofocus lenes 
most of the time anyway, so the old Pentax lenes can join my old Rokkors. 

Cheers

LUGGERS,    

Since I don't forsee an M8 in my immediate future, I have been considering a 
DSLR to improve my digital images.  Since I have some legacy Pentax primes, 
I am considering a Pentax K10D, which has been replaced by the K20D in the 
Pentax lineup.  I seem to recall that some of you, Daniel and Phil come to 
mind, have used the Pentax *ist in the past. Has anyone had any experience 
with the K10D?  Also, there are only a few sellers who have this camera new 
with manufacturer's warranty.  What is the reputation of Adorama these days?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
