You mean the lenses like 21, 31, 40, 43, 55, 70, 77 mm X 1.5 crop factor?
Some things never change; Pentax has had a 'me too' policy for all of the digital period and this is but more of the same,...a 'me too' camera that sadly has none of the advantaages of other makes models. If a camera can be summed up with the phrase 'the worst of all worlds' then the k01 must be a close contender.....
....so, ONLY pentax lenses will fit (STILL no 24mm f2 ater TEN YEARS of pentax dslrs!!)
....No possibility for any adaptor use with 'any' lens like NEX
....Big as a brick!
....No viewfinder, or provision for.
....'Styled' but not apparently designed as a photographic tool.
....Unadventurous basic spec,..16 meg when everyone else is already on 24 and thinking 36.
....Weird confused identity,..a fudge made to ape a DSLR.
....Plus, a lens that is so 'off the wall' that no photographer would want it as manual focus appears physically impossible!!

I like that Pentax went their own way with the design, and I like the look of the K-01.
A nice interview with Marc Newson about the design and the decisions about this camera. I wish they'd asked him why they left out a viewfinder.

Seems this new announcement suddenly lost it's appeal. No more talk about it after the OM-D. Is it a dead issue?
