Hasn't Pentax done that already, except the Q is cute as a button. Except for WW I don't think any serious photographer has bought one. Well no one else on this list anyway.
Well I did :-) Very good as an 'always carry with you' camera, and very solidly built too. And with the Q to PK adapter it is VERY good at macro, I have made some stunning images of microelectronics and EPROM chips internals using that and the A* 200mm macro. Object area just over 1 millimeter in length when stacking a 50mm F/1.4 on that ... That said, the rumoured K-01 does not sound that attractive of there is no eye-level VF either. (the missing VF is the weakest point on the Q as well) Regards, JvW ------------------------------------------------------------------ Jan van Wijk; http://www.dfsee.com/gallery -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
