I have the Q kit with the standard prime and 5-15. the fisheye is arriving soon. The standard prime is my favorite lens I think it's a gem. You can find cheap non pentax hoods on ebay. The standard prime works fine with a raynox 250 macro.
The 5-15 is very nice at 5-12 mm. at 15 mm it's not so good, no bad. Ebay also has lots of converters like a C-mount en K adapters. I need to make up my mind if I get the original K adapter with build in shutter or the new 15-45mm. Most likely I want the 15-45. A 50mm on a K adapter feels very large and no AF. Played a little with a 100mm macro on the Q. It's fun but very frustrating feels like hand holding a microscope.
