Tell it like it is! The most feature-free contemporary cameras are probably Holgas, and I don't think they really have a mass audience. IMHO all APS-C and smallerf-sensor cameras from now on will be belled-and-whistled up the yazoo. Except maybe Lytro, but is that even a camera?

The GXR is many things, but it is NOT a rangefinder camera.

I know that, K01 isn't either.
So OP, you are asking for a K mount camera with an optical viewfinder...oh my head hurts now...

I'm not too interested in buying a K-01 as is but, I think I would be a tad more inclined if it were a rangefinder.
