The 40mm pancake can be used on GH2, right? :)

@stonebat

In fact, most of my lenses are for Pentax mount, hence I intent to use all them on K-01 instead :-)

K01 40mm $299

If it existed, only briefly, I got mine for $314 :-)

I have no idea how camera makers other than Fuji are making money nowadays.

Most people do not buy things on deals prices :-)

It sounds cool, but not cheap.

Anything custom made in small scale is $$$.

Wait a sec. Is it just one custom mount replacement on a Pentax body?

Plus a red plastic sticker on each lens?

@stonebat The $299 price is reduced to clear inventory I guess, but I would be very surprised if they include the 40mm f2.8 prime in that price. Usually that's an extra $50. I have some Pentax glass from my analog days, and might invest just for that reason.

There's an unspoken rule in design that nothing should have the potential to look like a toilet seat. And for good reason. And yet, the armature surrounding the lens is just that.

Got K-01. Proper one, I mean yellow one :-)

Amazing not so little camera. If you are not living your life in constant search for even remote reminders of toilet seats, it'll be good camera for you.

So @Vitaliy_Kiselev , are you planning on taking a look into the Firmware? E.g. increasing video bitrate?

I do not know for now. Main issue here is free time.

Anyways, how do you like the video mode so far? Is it okayish oder rather not so good?

Did not checked it yet :-) here is except from review

Video quality in the K-01 is quite good and may be initiated with the mode dial in any setting with a single push of the red button. The camera does a little better if you're able to establish focus initially with a half push of the shutter button before initiating video capture, but the continuous auto focus function and video does a pretty good job of catching up fairly quickly as subject distances change during the course of a video capture. Users have the choice of program auto, aperture priority or manual control for video exposure calculation. The stereo microphones proved susceptible to wind noise however the camera is not equipped with a wind cut feature.

Because it utilizes a CMOS sensor, rolling shutter effect is a consideration for the K-01, but the camera does a pretty good job of dealing with this effect. Rolling shutter is only apparent under extremely rapid pans ? pan speeds well beyond what would ordinarily be encountered or employed by the typical user.

@K01

I did not get too common with this camera, for me it works only pressing AF/EU-L button on back.

So it's like I said, you have to manually re-focus by pressing a button whenever the subject gets out of focus while filming - and not as that excerpt said it was auto focussing, right? I wonder what they were doing that made them write that...

Yes, and focus will be slow :-) Do not expect m43 performance here. Sensor, lenses and processor are not designed for this.

Bad thing is also that focus peaking stop functioning as soon as you hit record.
