I thught this was interesting and a taster for some great possibilities:

Wow!
just shows what the Q is capable of. I love that little camera, I just don't have a spare £200

Has anybody tested MP-C-mount-lenses on the Q here? E.g. ebay 110889433628, 110852732361 or 110852731066? Just curious.

I'd wondered about those too. Seen this? link
(I'm sure they could have come up with a better name for their site!) That's not very encouraging.

eBay #320841271957 is a C mount lens complete with Pentax Q adapter. I was wondering if it might be worth a punt.

One thing in the C mount lens's favour is that they appear to have some form of aperture control but if they are optical disasters there may not be much point.

C Mount lenses are certainly not 'optical disasters' Leitz Distagons come in C mount! However I'd avoid the long Angenieux ones. Remember if you have no experience of 16mm motion picture filming then you may be unfaniliar with many of the makes.
