Pentax logo cube Few more Pentax K 01 details

Here are few more details on the upcoming Pentax K-01 mirrorless interchangeable lens camera:

  • The camera is designed by a famous designer
  • The new 40mm f/2.8 pancake lens is less than 1 centimeter thick and my understanding is that it will work only with the new K-01 body
  • The Pentax K-01 and the 40mm lens are covered with some kind of rubber-like material for better grip
  • The K-01 will have an external mic output for video recording
