Putting the feelers out as the mode dial from my K-01 has popped off and gone walkabout somewhere along the Thames. If anyone has a K-01 mode dial (what are the chances?!!) or body in any state of disrepair, then I'd be interested to hear from you.

Call me crazy, but I'm ever so fond of my brick.

Great camera. Enjoy. My K-30 doesn't get anywhere near as much use as it used to since I picked one of these up from a forum member a few months back.

Aluminium mount, plastic/composite barrel and focusing ring, no?

This is a fantastic little lens, and they appear to have copies in stock. If you can live without aluminium construction, distance scale, and quick-shift and don't mind the 27mm filter thread size, then you're getting a lens that is optically equivalent to the 40mm Limited (SMC, not HD) for under GBP100. Mine rarely leaves my K-01.

Ordered a couple of bits from Microglobe recently and, though they weren't exactly prompt in dispatching them, everything turned up as described and well packaged.

Just to say that this was a thoroughly hassle-free transaction. Karl was great throughout and the K01 arrived in tip-top condition, incredibly well packaged and exactly as described. Karl went above and beyond when he was, ever so slightly, delayed in posting (which was nothing, BTW; the man sets himself a high bar!), going so far as to throw in a little bonus item by way of apology. A proper gent, and would recommend without hesitation.

Lens arrived yesterday. Swiftly dispatched, very well packaged and exactly as described. Thanks to Mike for the easy transaction: excellent communication throughout and a thoroughly pleasant forum member to deal with. Would recommend without hesitation.

Looking forward to finding some time to shoot with my new (to me) DA21mm! Wish me luck!
