To be honest I can sympathise with the Adorama photographer's confusion. All these sizes given in fractions of inches are very confusing - why can't manufacturer's stick to quoting areas in square millimetres?

The first shot is just sublime.

Great candid portaits as well, showing the lens in its element, shooting portraits with expansive backgrounds which are thrown nicely out of focus. I've hardly ever gone over f4 with this lens! In fact if the aperture stuck at f2.4 permanently I would still be perfectly happy with it

Oh wait I was wrong.... confused between 2/3" and 1/2.3" there for a moment.

This is why it's not just Adorama's 'reviews' I take with a pinch of salt

I see it uses the same sensor as the Q. Another one. And this one uses the same die size and number of MP.

As far as I can tell, the sensors are different sizes. Even if they were, the X10 has been announced after the claim in AP about the Q's sensor being completely new, so the claim would have still been true.

Another video - just video footage taken with the Q, and the fisheye lens.

I wouldn't have much experience on this, but the Samyang 85 1.4 I use produces some beautiful bokeh.

Niiice! Now I really want one.

I wonder if there's more to this than meets the eye, some sort of wrangling between Tamron and Pentax. It seems strange for them to just drop support for the K mount, especially as Pentax have been doing relatively well for the last few years. They're certainly on more of an upward trajectory than previously.

Think of it this way. If you'd bought it last year, you'd have spent well over three hundred more! Returning it sounds a lot of hassle and you presumably will need to pay postage etc.

I have to say, I generally take reviews published by companies in the business of selling cameras with a pinch of salt.
