Marc is one of the most influential designers of his generation, So
influential that he managed to kill an entire line of Pentax products
before it was effectively born. A lot of manufactures copy if not the
actual product, the zeitgeist of Apple products, pretty much every smart
phone looks like a iPhone, Even Leica cameras have been favorably
compared to iPhones. I wonder if there are now going to be Apple
iProducts that look like K-01 cameras and will they get favorable
reviews because Apple makes them.

not exactly a stellar move IMO — his work with Pentax was not a
pinnacle of functional design; but as has been noted, he may have been
highly constrained in that project; i'm non-plused as well by what
i've seen of his other work
