I use my k01 a lot, the only real 'issue' I have with mine is seeing the LCD in bright light, like has been talked about a lot. I love the light weight and everyone behind my back saying, 'what kind of camera is that' type comments, LOL! I take the k50 out when the light is bright!

LCD viewfinder...

I've not done a lot of "product" photos, but here's my attempt for the K-01's fourth anniversary. Happy birthday K-01!

Wow! My little K-01 is starting to grow up!

How awesome, this will have to be my camera for the month.

Happy Brick Day!

Unfortunately 2/3 of my little bricks are literal bricks now

And Precision won't fix them

But hey, at least one is still kicking!

What happened to them?

One I purchased like new on the forum. I turned it on once and it worked perfectly. The second time I turned it on it was completely unresponsive. Wouldn't turn on no matter what I did. Bricked.

The other one stopped working with SDM/DC lenses (technically not 'bricked', but broken).

Sent both to Precision and they say they don't have the parts to fix them because of their age. I told them to poach the parts off of one to fix the other, so I'd have at least one fully working camera. They said they're not allowed to do that due to restrictions from Ricoh. They can only source parts directly from the manufacturer.

Yikes, geomez, I'm sorry to read this!

My Bumblebee is a month shy of 4 years.

Printed this image just recently. From my holiday in may 2015. I was making a timelapse of the water coming in the harbour. All that is left from my K-01 since it was stolen last year.
