Yes, they will fit and will be fully functional.

If you look on the Harrow technical website, they quote some typical prices. They look very reasonable to me.

Compact cameras are not the best to use when panning, nor are EVFs. I wouldn't put it as a strangth of the Q, but then I wouldn't use a Sony SLT DSLR either for that purpose. I find they all lag and it's very annoying.

Having said that, the Q is OK with shooting kids and animals, with care, so it can be used.

The primary uses for me are general shots, plus a bit of architecture, landcscape, etc., as having a Q kit with me can be the only option if the situations makes a DSLR too bulky.

There's not much to dislike about the Q, the only thing I've seen people gripe about is the price. That's no longer an issue. Fears about image quality have been proven to be also not an issue.

I suppose you could pop your previous camera on eBay as well to further reduce your outlay.

Don't start a slanging match over it.

It isn't new of course, remember Holga? But maybe it goes some way to explaining why Pentax make "toy" lenses and have toy lens settings in the image styles on their cameras.

I sometimes get the feeling that we don't experiment enough. Lomography is one way, but there are many other ways.

Bromoil anyone?

The manufacturers are in competition with each other, so I'm not sure the idea that they collude to direct the content of magazines can be right. It's IMHO akin to a conspiracy theory. Yes, magazines need advertising revenue but they won't sell magazines if they are perceived to be dishonest.

Yes, most magazine buyers are probably reinforcing the idea that magazines should be about kit. It's a sad thing that I've seen so many better magazines fold and yet the trivial ones go on.

However, there are plenty of PU members who are interested in photography, and I'm sure in the wider world there are plenty of kindred spirits.

Fungal spores are all around us, all the time. They love warm, moist environments and love soft optical glass, eating into the coatings and eventually the glass itself.

So, cool, dry air, circulating freely is the best option for lenses. Not in bags, cupboards or drawers and definitely not in the hard leather cases used so widely in the past.

We store our lenses on an open shelf in the IT room. (Our fancy name for the room where we use the computers!)

There have been image-orientated magazines in the past, such as Zoom, but they never lasted long.

It seems it's gear-orientated stuff that sells.

Pentax don't make a FF camera at this time, but in any event FF cameras are not necessary for shooting weddings. There are plenty of photographers shooting commercial and wedding photography with Pentax DSLRs.
