Thats 330mm equivalent The Pentax 300mm is £900 .......... The Sony equivalent for FF is HOW MUCH!!!!

You would never hold that Sony steady on a tripod and even if you did the first big lens you put on it would probably rip the tripod bush out.

It's not that small either with a lens. The 24mm on this page link
is absolutely massive. (posted by Pentaxophile).

It's a good job that photographers in the 60's didn't choose cameras based on plan views and thicknesses Leica's would have won and SLR's would never have caught on. Pentax wouldn't have survived. The Hasselblad would have been far to thick and the Rolleiflex would be the King

If it's based on a telescope....... it should focus on the
moon without any problems

How well I remember Ratners!

So will the Press.... and Ricoh are putting this stuff
on press releases

Never mind....... Your never alone with a Strand!

Where are they now?

Is that to be known as Centralised Ricoh And Pentax

"Personal Multimedia Product Company (hereinafter PMMC)"

"PENTAX RICOH IMAGING COMPANY (hereinafter PRI)"
Is Someone too embarrassed to use the 4th letter

I wonder if any Designer anywhere in the world will ever again
be willing to do work for Pentax after all the stick that this
camera's had so far without anyone actually using it

He only got £375 for the 43mm LTD
Add him to your Favourite Sellers list

I saw that as well. Glad the adapter was good in the end it did look a bit dodgy and the seller only had a feedback of 5, 3 of which were for sales and obviously why no one wanted to risk bidding a large amount. Worth the risk I suppose considering the saving in the end

They were being sold on this forum for £250+ not long ago. They are a good TC that actually works with most lenses, which isn't the case with the Tamron/Kenko alternatives. I've got a Tamron 2x that works with the Sigma 150-500mm but not with the DA*300mm. Can't figure out why because it's got 7 contacts either side + Pz contacts Possibly something isn't touching.

Of course nobody makes reference; that to have a similar setup to the K-01 with the Sony NEX-5N you need a great big ugly adapter (Sony LA-EA2 NEX-to-SLT adapter) on the front of the camera... see link

Only costs £260-£350 link and you can now use Sony DSLR lenses just like you can use Pentax DSLR lenses on K-01 without any adapter.

We won't mention that because the Pentax might sound better

We also won't mention that you don't need to buy any extra lenses

I don't know why everyone's obsessed with size all of a sudden. I've used Pentax cameras for over 40 years and never once looked up the size of any of them

So the Sony NEX 5N has an 18mm reg. distance and the body is 38mm wide which means there is 20mm from the sensor to the rear of the camera. The K-01 has 13mm from the sensor to the rear of the camera, but it has SR built into that The Sony needs SR in the lens (expensive).

Assuming someone like Sigma do the same lens for both cameras.... say it's a 50mm FL + say 30mm at the front for lens thread etc. = 80mm
The overall length of the Sony will be 80+20 = 100mm and the
K-01 will be 80+13 = 93mm

So the K-01 with the same lens as the Sony is 7% (approx) smaller than the Sony and has SR...... I can't see that being a disadvantage

I think that reviewer along with most other reviewers needs sacking

Then again if your going to use the camera without a lens .......
