John, these are GREAT. I was just reading up on using K mount lenses on the Q. Do you have much experience in that regard? I was just wondering if adding a Q to the Pentax kit would be cheaper, more useful than getting a used Bigma. Any thoughts? In understand the basic concept that with the multiplification factor, any lens flaw will be magnified, so only HQ lenses need apply.

Thanks Luke. I don't have the K to Q adapter, so I can't really comment on that. But I have seen some surprisingly good tele and macro shots with the wee Q. You might want to ask the folks on Flickr or lurk on PentaxForums.

We'll turn you into a Pentaxian yet...

Those really good. They remind me of the Weeping Angles from Dr. Who.

Sadly I had to send the wee chap back to the shop as he was faulty. But I liked the Q so much I bought another one.

Love these! Wonderful B/W work. Very dramatic.

I'm finishing up a story on Maine Lobster. Looking at the photos is making me hungry so I thought that I'd share...

Oh John, did you enjoy your meal?

One thing that you can't measure with any stick is the fun factor.
Some folks don't understand the allure of the Pentax Q IMHO, it's simple - it's a fun camera!

This is why (again IMHO) the techno-geeks & statisticians will never understand the Pentax Q.....
