Pentax Mirrorless Pentax K-01

These are really nice Kyle. Guess you'll be keeping it then? I've found the raws from the K-01 need hardly any pping. I posted one on Blip just as it was, straight out of LR converted to Jpeg.

Thanks! Yeah, I probably will keep the lens... I like the way it renders quite a bit and think shooting a bit more in normal will help me learn.

The picture results are very impressive, the choice of all those Pentax lenses is breathtaking but why o why did they make it without a viewfinder and so ugly.

Haha, yeah, I would have thought the person in the product development group with the crazy ideas would have moved on after the Q. Nothing against the Q, but you can't really call it a market success (I must confess that I bought one for my wife, though, during the Amazon lightning deal). It would have been a whole lot different with the K-01 if they would have just styled it more classically (to match the Ltd lens), call it the Limited K-01 or something, and add a port for an accessory viewfinder.

Oh well, for me, it's all good... I actually kind of like having a unique camera and I don't need the viewfinder. I love the fact that there are some great, small lenses to choose from, and prices seem to be good overall (especially as a late adopter there).

Bright and sunny day,took about 90 shots and only had to shade my eyes a couple of times in order to see the screen. Ugly, well yes, perhaps but I'm behind the lens so I don't care!

Love the light and colors there Christilou!

Did you monkey around at all with the brightness settings for the display? I max the brightness for outdoors and I still don't seem to be making a dent in that huge battery.

I wonder what kind of skull that is.
I was wondering that too, Luke. A lot of dairy farms around there, so maybe a cow is a safe bet. The guy that *was* around the bend had a crazy little place with cool old cars, sculptures and then random things on top of all the fence posts. I was wishing it was my eccentric uncle, so I could visit and hangout on the porch.

Kyle, an open-air laundromat?? Never seen one of them before...:D

You may be on to an interesting concept there!
 
Some pictures with the K01 and kit lens.

Very little post processing on any of these. I didn't even import most of them into LR for processing - just right out of the camera in most of the images. I love the size of the camera - perfect fit in my hands. I've not had too much trouble with the screen - I have it at maximum brightness though. Saving up for the Limited lenses. :)
