Is anyone using one? I'm thinking I'd really like one for mine, because it doesn't easily hang from my fingers like my K-x does, and I don't want to put a regular strap on it either. Is there one out there that fits and works nicely, but won't break the bank?

I put a gordy's wrist strap (Link Here) on mine - it is a great fit with the camera's look and is especially suited to the K-01/40mm xs pair. Those are under $20. I also use Optech wrist straps for carrying cameras if you're looking for a cheaper solution - IMHO the gordy's is well worth the extra ten bucks.

Here's another neopreme wrist strap that I've been looking at. It's branded Polaroid and is cheap enough...

I was looking for something that allows my hand to fit into it, so it's more or less always attached to the camera. Not a wrist strap, per say. I've seen some in the past that attach to the top right strap mount and then to the tripod mount... but I can't seem to find one like that now.

Gordy's straps are beautiful. You could jiggle them top just fit your hand, but yeah I'm not sure I know of a hand strap thing for the K-01. Wouldn't a generic one do?

I have one of these, and it does the Job well.

I dont have a K-01 but have used it on several different film and digital bodies.

Should make a petition to Mark to design one for the K-01

- sorry, I just could not refrain myself

But it would probably cost more than the cameras are currently selling for

That's why I just had to say it

Been using a Case LogicDHS-101 and so far it's been pretty decent. Camera feels much more secure in the hand and it has a little pouch that will hold a spare SD card.

There are lots on this page, including a Pentax-branded hand strap. I use a nice one from fleabay which cost me ten bucks, I think, though you can pay much more. It attaches to one lug and the tripod screw.

The straps for the Wii Motes from the Nintendo Wii will work perfectly as a wrist strap.

Nice! Shot a message to the seller asking if he/she could possibly do a white one to go along with my Panda Trooper.

I thought white would be neat too, but my other hobby is barbecue, and I take photos to post on a bbq forum.
So, well you know............
