I don't know where you live, but if you see Santa tell him I say Hi!
We're getting a little lake effect snow but more blowing and drifting than anything else. I could not resist going out with the K-01 and seeing how it fares. With focus peaking and the zoom in the ability to zoom in on the image in the rear screen makes this camera is incredible for snow crystal shots. I've been doing these for a long time now and *THE* hardest thing has been getting the precise focus. This camera makes it a snap. I've really happy to have gotten it - for 'studio' macros this is an excellent K-Mount option.
The 40mm XS is remarkably tiny. I love 40mm on a full frame camera but it's not my favorite on the APC C bodies. But for an extra $90 what's not to like about the lens?

The K-01 almost tempted me at its most-extreme sale point. Just the 40mm alone! As for temps.. The high here tomorrow will be -1F (-18C). Tomorrow night will be down to -14F (-25.5C). So it's time to find the warm gloves. And maybe a hat! -Charles -- Charles Robinson - [email protected] Minneapolis, MN http://charles.robinsontwins.org http://www.facebook.com/charles.robinson
