Pentax K10D Test in Cedar Hill

Recently acquired a Pentax K10D body at auction. This body has a 10.2 megapixel sensor, and is sealed against water and dust at all points except for lens mount.
Sunday August 23 I took it out for a test.
I switched back and forth between two lenses.
"Zoom" in title indicates a f/3.5~5.6 kit lens, 18-55 mm focal length.
"Prime50" indicates a manual focus, SMC-A f/2 lens in 50mm.
The zoom sometimes seems a bit soft in the corners, the prime seems sharp corner to corner.
Body sensor is just a little soft by my standards.
Exposure needed correction is some images.
Yes, antishake was engaged.
I need to check my settings again for exposure mode and metering coverage.
These shots are all from Cedar Hill, Missouri.

Please click on thumbnails to see enlargement. I resized all images to about 900 pixels on long side.
All images are 2009 E.J.Kowalski.
