Hi from Massachusetts where it's cold but am still taking time to photograph my kids using my trusted K01 brick with FA and M lenses.

Nice to be here.

Good to have you on board. The K-01 has a special place in the Pentax genealogy for good reason; it'll give you a lifetime of great photography in a relatively compact package. Welcome and enjoy the forum.

Pentax K-01 Review
Review Introduction

The Pentax K-01 is a pioneer; it is the first mirrorless camera to be designed for use with an already-existing lineup of DSLR and SLR lenses. The Pentax K-01 features the Pentax K-mount, which is compatible with all current and past Pentax K-mount lenses and, with an adapter, the K-01 is also compatible with yesteryear's M42 and M37 screw mount lenses such as the Pentax Takumar series of lenses. The K-01 has the same 16.3 megapixel APS-C sized sensor used in the high-end Pentax DSLR, the K-5, which has gotten praise for its best-in-class image quality. Combined with support for thousands of lenses, this seems like an irresistable package! . . .

Description:
The PENTAX K-01, introduced in 2012, is an industry first. It is a mirrorless interchangeable lens camera (MILC) with an APS-C sized sensor (16 x 24 mm) that takes the full range of legacy K-mount Pentax SLR/DSLR lenses and accessories as well as the new XS series ultra-compact lenses. Recently introduced mirrorless cameras from other brands with APS-C (or smaller) sized sensors have lens mounts incompatible with the DSLR/SLR cameras of those brands. Pentax has once again shown its commitment to its customers by not obsolescing their lens collection. . . .

Thanks again all. I know Pentax is avoiding mirrorless, but am still holding out hope they change their minds on this. In the meantime I may end up purchasing a used K3 to accompany the K01 as I can't bring myself to purchase a Fujifilm camera🙂
