The k-01 has a lot of space inside the mount, the element could be placed inside the camera were the mirror would be in a k5 giving the same results as using it on a nex/m4/3 version just using a different application to get it in the right place.

Exactly what I was thinking of - a K-01 with a built in multiplier to keep the field of view the same as a FF camera.

And perhaps an AF option too with the gubbins out of the 1.7X AF adapter so it'll do auto-focussing with any old Pentax manual lens. Nice - but probably not a commercial proposition.
