It may have been a "dreary day"....but this photograph is anything but.
Really wonderful tones. And composition.
A great picture.
I have some distant memory of that camera getting slammed by the 'critics'. But I believe it has a similar or the same sensor as the GR/GRII, so even without having used it, I like it. I can only imagine the results with those 'Limited' Pentax lenses.Taken with my new (to me) K-01 -

It's strange getting used to no OVF but rather liberating in a weird way -

I think you are right, it was the same sensor Pentax put in the K-5, and also appeared in the Nikon 7000. Made by Sony and quite a capable one, too.I have some distant memory of that camera getting slammed by the 'critics'.

Makes a note, "Pentax K5" and "Nikon D7000". I'm sure I read somewhere about the the "Nikon D7100" too, but can't find it (believe me, I've googled).I think you are right, it was the same sensor Pentax put in the K-5, and also appeared in the Nikon 7000. Made by Sony and quite a capable one, too.
But actually if truth be told, and as we all know, it's not so much the sensor - or even the lenses - but ultimately the eye of the photographer. @john m flores has taken a number of epic photos over the years with his K-01, and his way of using his Pentax mirrorless cameras (he's also a long term Pentax Q addict) definitely was a big influence in my recent K-01 purchase.
So was Andrew Kochanowski, a great street photographer, who wrote a killer informal review of the way he used to use the K-01 for candid photography - a piece which was originally publichsed in Mike Johnson's The Online Photographer, and for quirky Pentax fans, is worth reading:
Out and About with the Pentax K-01
By Andrew Kochanowski English gloom lifted for a few moments of sunshine, so Belgian and English soccer—er, football—fans hurl invective at each other. Lime-vested bobbies appear in moments. Surely, something good must happen. It's a fine thing I have a...theonlinephotographer.typepad.com
But, you're right...it's hard to go wrong with some of those 'Limited' Pentax lenses, no matter what you're shooting with
Yeah I know, of course, of course - but no camera did monos like the GRII, nor any PP software either.But actually if truth be told, and as we all know, it's not so much the sensor - or even the lenses - but ultimately the eye of the photographer.
You see, that's what I was referring to in my comments earlier this weekend.
Trying Capture1 vs Apple Photos - slightly different crop but C1 looks a bit 'dryer' using the auto-enhancement settings (not that I'm an expert at this stuff) - K-7 & 100mm f2.8 Macro

C1 certainly feels much faster than Photos and similar to Aperture speedwise.
Both versions look good to me - but in simple (or maybe simplistic) terms, the Apple Photos rendition seems to have more saturation than the Capture1 version. They both have an appeal - but personally I prefer a little bit more saturation in this image.
my K-01 shows significantly more grain than images taken with the newer (and more high-ISO-capable) sensor of my KP
