That may be true. However even cameras not aimed at us should be an interesting option. Hell most pros from the film era didn't use a one of the "professional" 35mm cameras, and even the lowliest member of a systems line could be used as a second body. I don't see this being a viable backup to a K-5 if you use any long lenses hand held. On the other hand a lot of Nikon F[x] users had a Nikormat as a backup or second body. A professional using a MX or LX wouldn't be really off base using a ME super or even an original ME as a second body.The K01just isn't a viable alternative. From that viewpoint the K-01 is just... disappointing.
