I'm really liking the K-01 and wearing it has been made so much better with the Couch strap plus it looks good.

Nice! Good find.

How about a hotshoe viewfinder to finish off the package?

If I had seen one at the Vancouver camera show today I might have picked it up but no such luck.

Where does one get this strap!?

I think the camera strap attachments are in the wrong spot. I would have preferred they were on the back of the camera along the bottom edge. I use a Black rapid right now but wouldn't mind a wrist or hand strap. eBay Australia: Buy new & used fashion, electronics & home d?r

Its from a small Californian company that makes guitar straps, called Couch. I bought mine off Etsy but I think the yellow ones are all gone.

When I was shopping for a strap, the Couch website showed the yellow "Racer-X" strap was sold out. I emailed them and was told I could still get one. It may just depend on how much material they have, but it never hurts to ask.

It's here -- if they have it. But they make a lot of other neat ones also.

Nice strap, fits the k-01 like a glove.

That yellow dot on the A28mm lens just finishes off the presentation!
