PENTAX K-01 - Prestigious International 2012 Product Design Award


I got mine from SLR Revo..think about $17 per piece..not sure if its cheapest tho..

Does your 3rd party one last as well as the original for K-01? Mine does not seem to last very long with K01... But that was bought long ago when I have my K7. :X
 

My Jaw Dropped so low, manual lens still beats newer lens with K-01.
Made me regret a bit to had sold off the K-01 last year, I sold off because it felt heavy with a bad grip.


More K-01 "magic"

Thanks, Jaiyen, Creampuff, Oceanpriest, and PhilipKr35.

The k-01 to me is like a simple light box. Maybe a bit bigger than most mirrorless, but I still felt it's particularly useful for landscape and the occasional street photography. Familiarity with Pentax's menus helped. And with the k5 sensor and the new M "engine", it was a no brainer esp given the recent price.

I just want to take good pictures with a camera I can relate with (even though it looks ...), and continue to look to improve my skills with my reasonably priced setup.

All I can see is that your photos and the many posted here is WORTH.
