I saw one the other day. I have no use for one but what a little jewel. If I were a rich man I'd buy one just because it's so tiny and pretty.

I saw one today. In the woods. 
There was a guy taking photos of the devastation being wreaked by the loggers at the moment. At first I thought it was an i10 but when he asked if he could photograph the dog we got talking - and yes it was a Q. Tiny thing. He was pleased to meet another Pentax owner. He also has a K-5 and a 645D.
He bought the Q on a recent trip to New York, on a whim.
I'm not sure if he had more money than sense or not
. He never managed a photo of the dog either - Timber just wasn't in the mood

A photo of a "moody" dog would be good to admire

They weren't actually logging this morning, so it was OK. Yesterday every path I took was blocked by a logging machine, so poor Timber spent most of his walk on a lead.
He didn't take to Mr more-money-than-sense and kept turning his back on him or wandering off, so Mr MMTS gave up and went back to broken trees and unexpected wide open spaces.
I am sure it is good for the wood - that's what they tell us, but it is a pain while they are there and not good for the buzzards - several of their eating trees have been felled
.More chaos there this afternoon, but at least it is still dry - tomorrow's promised rain will really make it awful to walk there.
Anyway having seen a Q in the flesh it is too small for me. I like a small camera but that is ridiculous. Next week's lottery win will get spent on something else

Another £100-£150 off and it'd be priced about right I reckon!
Am still tempted though...
