Originally posted by rfortson Nice, Jim! Did you buy a K-01, or do you get to use so many cameras that you don't need to buy one? What happens to all those cameras that get reviewed?

The K-01 is a review loaner. The cameras have to go back after the reviews are finished, although sometimes that doesn't have to be for a month or two--depends on how hot the camera is and how many review samples there are to go around. I was very pleased to get the K-01 this early--sometimes the wait can be weeks or months. Do plan on shooting with it as much as possible over the next couple weeks, and plan on giving it a workout with the K 28mm f/3.5 and K 85mm f/1.8--but I do miss having an eye-level finder.
I only have two digitals that are my own right now--a Sony NEX-5N and a Leica M8. But I've got more film gear than I can shake a stick at--four Pentax KX bodies, an old Rollei, Hassy 500C, Leica M3 and CL, a few Mamiya TLRs, and--just for good measure, a Diana F+.
