I think it is a really excellent idea (initially I didn't but I was wrong). Once on the Q it will make it even better as a candid, shirt pocket pocketable. Because of the tiny aperture you could easily totally disguise the Q. I will buy it if the price isn't silly. Wide angle Q prime next please Pentax and hurry up.

If they do then there will probably be a Chinese knock off for a few pence which will be fine.

Well, to be fair, a pin hole camera is a "toy"
I made my own with an old K mount cap. Drilled a reasonable sized hole first, then got some copper foil and a very fine needle. Then glued the foil+hole to the cap.
Exposure time was achingly slow. Effect was fun to try though!
Laser etched precision holes give better results apparently.
