I guess Ricoh will want the K mirrorless to be distinctive against their own GRX as well... Or maybe they'll cancel it and bring out that rumoured GXR module.
I suspect that modual is done and will be released.... if anything as a Ricoh product.. they really won't be competing models in the marketplace...Blincodave wrote:

Now Ricoh's in control, I'm sure some of their EVF technology will start to appear on future Pentaxes. I also expect they'll closely monitor how the K-01 (a Hoya project) goes down and refine the next models accordingly (or have a radical rethink, depending on how well it does).I assumed that the Pentax mirrorless would be like the Panasonic G series.

that has really been addressed to death already..I assumed that the Pentax mirrorless would be like the Panasonic G series. But we don't even have the option of a clip on EVF.

there are loups that go over the lcd... and there is an hdmi port for attaching ANY type of monitor including evf's to it..
the problem right now is nobody is really flooding the market with consumer grade/priced hdmi evf's... that could change.. a lot of d-slrs have this port.

I keep looking at that 40mm lens and thinking how frickin easy it would be to build a "Follow focus" device to manually focus it for video shooting!
follow focus
I mean ridiculously easy!

the blown highlights do not detract in these images really..
in fact in number three, the effect works really well to lead the eye through the composition...
same with number two... anywhere else in the frame the blown highlights would be a distraction, here it draws the eye right down the street...
well done...

Follow the yellow brick road, follow the yellow brick road!
How come the call the scarecrow brainless, when it took dorothy 2 frickin hours to realize all she had to do was click her heels to get home?
oh well...
The more I see it the less ugly it looks... maybe Pentaxes road to success in the mirrorless category will be paved with yellow bricks!
btw they really scored big time with movie makers here even adding manual audio gain to the mix!

thanx...
btw I suspect there will be a new d-slr in our future from Pentax as well... I for one am hoping it is a Mz5n look-alike with all the feature of the k-01 + the features of the k-5 as a replacement for the kr... that would be sexy!

I've seen an image of the black and silver version with silver ltd's, it matches the silver ltd's quite nicely..

they start with that, add some parts to the rear for focus and k-mount... and boom tele is done... little r&d, existing parts bin special.... and that means......
$2,350.00 MRSP and a $1999.00 retail price.... possibly....
