High design meets high technology in the PENTAX K-01, created by PENTAX and acclaimed industrial designer Marc Newson. This sleek, bold and tactile mirrorless is compatible with all PENTAX K-mount lenses, plus an insanely thin 40mm pancake lens, also designed by Newson. The refreshing K-01 is not your usual camera. Which is exactly why it might just be perfect for you.
