There's hardly anything wrong with the design
Don't fix it if it ain't broke!

Just a bit of work on the gallery such as showing a bigger
pic on mouseover is all that's needed.

Most of the problems seem to be with moderation and not
mentioning other brands such as Can...... and Nik.....

You need to focus on something vertical with a sloping
ruler at the side..... something like the DIY GhettoCal

Certainly was along with Boots Electric Shavers

The 58mm Helios was an old design based on the Zeiss Biogon.
Probably hand made and the quality varies a lot. You might
need to buy 4/5 to get a good one. The sharpness didn't
peak at f/5.6 like computer designs it kept improving up
to f/16. The better ones were kept for the Russian top
brass and had serials mostly consisting of zeros.

A Zenith with that lens used to be a "WHICH" Best Buy

How can it be your favourite lens if it's always OOF!

You can add more in DEBUG mode though PK-Tether but it throws
all lenses out. Still worth trying.

Their website is bonkers..... I sent them an email in which
I threatened to unsubscribe and it was scanned straight away
and a message popped up saying that at my request my subscription
had been cancelled I wonder how many customers they
have lost through that! Most of their reports are rubbish.

This site has the daftest Pentax reviews I've ever seen...

Interchangeable lenses on the Q series are seen as a negative!
"a camera that small, having interchangeable lenses might
overwhelm the benefits of its smaller body anyway—and go
for a compact."
