Well Jonathan-Mac, we are talking about Pentax cameras on Pentax User, so other makes aren't part of our brief. There are Olympus cameras very similar to the MX-1, but you won't get the same Pentax colour from them, excellent as they may well be.

Anyway, back to the Q, I often use apertures of f/11 - f/16 with studio flash and these are not available on the Q or the MX-1. They are available on the Ricoh GR, but the wide angle lens isn't what we normally look for in studio portraiture.

If you want MX-1 quality but the Q form, then perhaps the new Q7 would be suitable. It has the same sized (same?) sensor as the MX-1.

I have used the Q with studio flash, mounting an IR trigger in the hotshoe, but the real limitation is the minimum aperture of f/8.

Please don't ruin swarf's intro post, hardly a fair welcome.

Title amended for you.

Hope that helps, takes less than 30 seconds in Photoshop. Other programs may offer a similar workflow.

I was just thinking that, supply and demand being what it is, sensor manufacturers looking to expand sales might be very keen to offer Ricoh a very good deal now. That might make it easier to make a Pentax FF model, maybe even in the same shell as the K-3.

You've come along leaps and bounds there Nigel, maybe the dark hours suit you!

Glad to see the Grown Ups aren't entirely absent, typo corrected.
