Q at 'Focus'
Thanks for the link. The K-5 has a 1.5x crop factor and the Q has a 5.5x crop factor. Not useful for wide angle shots, but certainly very useful for extreme telephoto shots.

The concern for me was that the Q's much smaller, more pixel-dense sensor would exceed the resolution of K mount lenses. However I've seen images from the DA*300mm and the Q cropped to 100%, which looked OK, and also suggests that the sensors in cameras like the K5 aren't yet out-resolving our be...

Q at 'Focus'
I would be rather miffed if I had splashed out £600 quite recently. But this is now sensible and tempting. Tough choice between the Q and a very good current deal on a Panny GF3. Not that tough actually as I can't afford either at the moment. Hopefully now the Q will start selling and there may be...

You can now get an adapter for Pentax 110 lenses, now I'm really tempted!

OK, so who's volunteering to get a Q and stick a Bigma with a 2x converter on it? Surely we could see if there's life on Mars with that combo!

I think it'll be the other way round, you stick the camera on the lens :D

You can now get an adapter for Pentax 110 lenses, now I'm really tempted! Do you have any links for this? This would be a deciding factor for me as I have all but the pan focus 18mm 110 lens!

OK, so who's volunteering to get a Q and stick a Bigma with a 2x converter on it? Surely we could see if there's life on Mars with that combo! I might just do it! I have a tamron 500 mirror, 2x and 1.5x converter - that would equate to an 8250mm F22 lens :shock: Might need a very bright day t...

I spotted it from a Chinese or HK site on eBay, sorry I didn't bookmark it.

I don't think you need a bight day, just a clear day or night. After all it's not the light of the Earth your're interested in but the light on the planet you're photographing. And you shouldn't need auto focus!

Q at 'Focus'
Just back from Focus on Imaging, with feet remarkably not aching at all, and I had a look at the Fisheye lens for the Q. That's now on the To Buy list, but I don't buy at exhibitions. Too many things are too tempting. What was very interesting was that it's manual focus and, despite presumably st...

110 lenses don't have an aperture ring do they? Would presume these could only be shot wide open. 110 lenses have no diaphragm either - the aperture is formed by the shutter blades. I would suspect that an adapter will have a built in shutter to cover this as the Q has a setting for using the...

Q at 'Focus'
John, do you mean the 'Q' has no diaphragm? I suspect it doesn't matter very muchif you shoot wide open, the depth of field is huge anyway. The Auto 110 could stop down to f13.5 but I suspect that was because the fastest shutter speed was only 1/750. I've a few rolls to be processed from my r...

No, the Auto 110 lenses had no diaphragm. Not sure about the Q.

Q at 'Focus'
Auto 110 lenses rely on the built in diaphram with 2 blades! Though you have no control over apature, the Auto 110 is pure point and shoot. The Lenses are fixed at f2.8. As I understood it, the toy lenses are without any form of diaphram but the non-toy lenses have a built in shutter and diap...

Q Accessories - Cases
Was doing a Google search for a SMALL holster case for the K-30/18-135 and where do I find myself, but back here in this thread!:D However, in the process I came across . Looks to be about the right size, very cheap and so I've ordered one to see how it does.

K-01 user feedback
I played with one at the SRS open day. Unfortunately, clashing with the rugby, the football and St Patrick's day meant there were very few people there when I was there. As someone who wasn't really interested in a CSC of any make, I was actually pleasantly surprised with the K-01. The screen w...
