The link takes us to the full story on my ePHOTOzine blog, but it's probably especially of interest here. The idea of tubes for the Q was very compelling, especially as they have full electronic contacts. Even AF is supposed to work, but MF is, I found, far more reliable. When AF does click in it works exactly as normal, which at macro distances on the Q series is pretty impressive.
The magnification is high and there's potential as well for some creative use. They are not cheap (£49.95 from Amazon) but they were an exciting find, something I didn't know existed.
