I love the results I get from the K-01/sensor, but for many MF lenses, especially outside, the lack of a Viewfinder is a PITA, even with back screen focus peaking, and I recommend you avoid. My K-01's focus peaking was a little erratic (comparing what I thought I was focusing on and how it turned out back at base), and I didn't feel I could rely on it.
The K-3 remains the best cropped camera I've used with M42 lenses. For what it does, the Sony A6000 is excellent value, with good focus and exposure support through the EVF...but disappointingly for me anyway, I haven't had much success using old lenses with the e-mount to M42 adapter, particularly near or closer to infinity.
Speaking of old lenses, here is a photo of the Takumar 200/3.5 I'm using this month. Thought I should get a few photos of it before the gold quality control sticker wears off! The lens, as you can see, is quite long, and it's the length (not weight) that causes the most problems hand held. There's a reason it came with a tripod collar.
