Pentax K-01 camera designed by Marc Newson

“…Newson always incorporates thoughtful proportions. In this case, he not only worked with Pentax on the camera body, but also on the 40mm F2.8 kit lens that comes with it. The pancake lens is impossibly thin, measuring in at .36 inches—just enough room for a manual focus ring, and that’s about it. The K-01 uses the standard K-mount so it’s compatible with every lens Pentax has made over the years. Removing the viewfinder and the mirror from the equation also gave Newson more creative flexibility…”
—Josh Rubin, Cool Hunting

I usually shy away from bright yellow fashion accessories or gadgets. But, this new Pentax K-01 designed by Marc Newson, makes it to my too pricey wishlist.
