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.

As I said, an adapter adds thickness. You can't start with the K-mount, add an adapter, and keep it K-mount. The initial mount needs to be shorter so once you add the adapter, the final mount matches the K-mount.

That's yet another flaw of the K-mount mirrorless. We knew it was less flexible in accepting manual focus lenses (no option to attach any range finder lenses,. no option to adapt Canon lenses, etc), and now here is another flaw. No 'Speed Booster' adapter cam be made for it.


Fit the optical element inside the K-01, not connected to the Kmount,

Thats more difficult. It either wont be stable or it will to be fixed permanently, which will mean not being able to use apsc lenses
