Those are super. Would love to get this lens but not sure if I would use it that much on the streets

Could be tempted now though!

Those really are stunning images from such a small sensor. Which model of Q are they taken with?

Thanks, these were taken with the original Q.
I have the 01, 02 and now the 06 lenses, all are good but the 06 is a cracker!
I am constantly surprised by the Q's tiny sensor and the quality it's capable of.

Yep, same here. It's a magic little camera, and that magnesium alloy body makes it feel serious as well.
I also have the 06 though I find I rarely use it, favouring the 01 prime most of the time.

Same feeling about my two original Q's. Only use with 01 prime and DA*300 but am always surprised. Anyone know why it is so good?

Used to use mine with the DA 300 too Dave. But since I got my Adaptall 2 Tamron 90mm f2.5 stuck on my copy adapter, I'm kind of limited now.... lol. The 06 lens is good though.
