I converted my K01 to infrared and use it quite a bit. I use an
inexpensive XIT LCD Loup as a finder - makes the camera rather
cumbersome but works well. K01 image quality is very close to the K5,
which is to say excellent. But the ergonomics are not good. It's still a
useful camera and when I bought it, it was quite a bargain.

Pentax did venture into the mirrorless realm with the K-01,
essentially a k-mount mirrorless K5 - much bigger than a 4/3. Brian
Walters feels it was a missed opportunity since, without an EVF, it
had to be used in Live View. He found that one of those clip-on turret
viewfinders didn't really solve the problem. I looked for a S/H K-01
body in SA a couple of years ago but found they were asking more than
a K5!

I suspect that the decision to concentrate on DSLRs was driven by
scarcity of capital, not scarcity of desire to make a mirrorless body.
