I started SLR-shooting with a Ricoh KR-10x in 1990.
Now a K-mount camera is back here again!
Dieter (fotomachi) sold it to me and now I have a genuine DSLR body to use my SMC-M 2.8/28, SMC-M 1.7/50 and the Rikenon 35-70 on.
Plus all the M42 lenses because Dieter has included an M42-K-adapter! Thanks a lot!
The K100D is definitley the smallest DSLR I have but it feels so solid and the "Shake Reduction" mode can come in handy at times.

Rumour has it that Sony cameras see a lens as 50mm if the body cannot read the information from the lens. This makes the anti shake system less effective if the lens is wider or narrower than 50mm. This is why a lot of people attach 3rd party chips to the Samyang 85/1.4 just as an example. I bet Pentax "Shake Reduction" works in the same way. Just FYI, I bet the camera is excellent but with old lenses the "Shake Reduction" might work less than optimally.

The K100D asks you what FL the lens has that you have mounted if it cannot define it on its own.

Excellent camera !
My wife gave me this one in 2007 and re-started my photo hobby.
Very reliable and trouble free with MF lenses - no chips, no programming change needed.

And that is only the collection of digital cams!

Oh boy, I was so glad to have reduced the number of lenses considerably, but have bought many new cameras!
Damn!
Anyway, it's fun to play with them and my kids are getting older, so they can be introduced to SLR-shooting in some time.

congrats Carsten, I hope you will enjoy this camera!
I really loved the colors of my *istDs which uses the same 6MP CCD sensor and it made differences of colors rendered by different lenses much more apparent than my later cameras with CMOS sensors.

haha, that's funny, I had opted for a used *istDs instead of the K100D which I could have bought for the same price then, even though that had meant not having SR because I felt the K100D being too big and clumsy in comparison with the smaller *istDs which I found fitting my hand better too. Later I "upgraded" to a K-x which has an almost identical, somewhat smaller, the *istDs remains my "biggest" dSLR

Well, compare the K100D to an EOS 5D, 40D, Nikon D1 or Sigma SD9, even the 300D.
The NEXes are of course much smaller.

Congrats, Carsten!
I got one of those and it was really nice. Later on I swapped it by a K200D, those small DSLRs are great.
You can also use all of your Tamrons Adaptall with the PKA Adaptall adapter

and a note Carsten: I believe that you are well advised to use RAW only. At least with my *istDs it is a must, the jpegs are simply not good. That may have improved with the K100D, but even with the K-x I soon stuck with RAWs only

Smallest than EOS 350D ?
Congratulations for the Pentax ! The stabilised sensor is a thing that I like for MF
