Finding another general principle thought, and that is that we all will pay whatever it takes if we want something badly enough. Where the balance of this lies we will find out.
Plenty of people seem excited enough about the Q, we just need to sort out how much we are prepared to pay. I think we had similar gripes expressed about the K-5 when it was first introduced.

The priniciple is sound - new kit starts off at the top of its price range and then falls as times go by.
The MX with 50mm f1.7 lens started off at £209.95, or £219.95 in black. It gradually fell to just over £100, just about halving its price over a couple of years.

Muncaster Castle (House, extensive grounds, owls) near Ravenglass
South Lakes Wild Animal Park (lots of animals from all over the world, exotic birds)
South Lakes Motor Museum/Sizergh Castle(NT)/Levens Hall (all very close to each other in the South Lakes)
All these invlove entrance fees but they would support a group visit and give plenty of facilities plus photo opportunities.

The Takumar converter is an S design for shorter lenses, which indeed the low cost range will be.

Quality can be pretty good, although it may not measure too well technically, but maximum aperture will certainly suffer.
