Thread: Mirrorless Pentax K-01

I posted this on the doggy forum but I rather like the character of this lens. At f4 it's amazing. Forgot to say it's the FA77 Limited

I got the black one too for the same reasons although we don't have the white one here in the UK. We get a silver choice and a yellow choice. In some pics the yellow looks rather nice but I can't imagine it would be very discreet!

Nice capture! I was not originally planning on getting the 40mm, but your images and the peaking feature convinced me that I needed this lens. I ended up ordering the Limited version, because I am having fun with quick shift focus. It is pretty cool to leave peaking on with AF, and then just drop down to the quick shift ring if needed.

Wow - that is an amazing photo ! that lens looks really sharp. I dont like the look of the camera at all but it seems to be doing a good job!

I'm liking it more and more. With the heft of the FA heavyish metal lenses you can take the weight in your left hand easily whilst adjusting stuff with the right and it feels really well balanced. I feel that I'm developing claw fingers with both my EP3 and more especially the Fuji X100. I don't mind that people think it's ugly, I'm behind the camera not looking at it and anyone looking at it would probably only pass it a cursory glance I actually dropped the EP3 with the PL25mm on it from about a foot in height as it was front heavy. No damage to either fortunately but it made a dent in our wooden floor :(

Christina, I love that 77mm Limited as well. I have it in silver which went great with my limited K5 before I sold it. Now perhaps it is time to put it on a K01 (?). It would look good against a black body.

These images all look really good.

All with K-01 and kit lens.

Love the natural colours in the last one :)
