It's the dilemma that makes many potentially interesting things gradually disappear.... I try to keep my lenses as carefully as possible, in a drawer and on cameras on a shelf. I do try and rotate them, but the 50mm get all the use...!!!

I have just noticed my other copy of this lens has developed lots of fungus...... Wondering if it is worth having this lens repaired or if just let it go and leave it as an ornamental feature of my non-operational ES?
Apart from this it's in fine physical condition....

I like them, interesting to experiment!

All great images Bob.
I think that you would produce great images regardless of the kit you’re using. I'm intrigued by some comments based on the assumption that “if I buy this camera, I will get the same results”.
Most modern cameras out there will produce these results; they just need a skilled photographer (you in this case) to be using it.
We see great images posted by people using much earlier models of Pentax cameras yet don’t see post’s in the thread stating that an individual is tempted to buy that model based on the images presented.
As for the Q, it certainly is better value now and due to its size and available lens configurations. Certainly the images you have posted are of high standard and do show the capability of the Q, albeit in the right hands.
Best regards
I've always wanted a reasonably priced compact that actually does good photos........ That's all!!
I'm trying to be enthusiastic about photography as I haven't done any really this year..... Even with my film cameras..

Have not looked at the film AF lenses and am interested as to what is a fair price for these? Decided that I should invest in some glass to move a step up from the WR kit lens (which is pretty good in itself, but Pentax are known for primes aren't they?!). I'm concerned over any perceived law of diminishing returns with these things though?
Not sure I can justify DA* though.......!!! Though appears that the prices keep going up and so could horribly be condsidered an investment of sorts...?
