Quoting luiz felipe <[email protected]>:
I am thinking about a Pentax Q lately, to get the extra-long lenses
that result from the sensor size added to our "ordinary" glass.
after some reading, and some looking at pictures taken with the
camera, I am stuck at two last details: a shade/ loupe for the LCD,
and an adapter for the K lenses.
first question: do any of you happen to use a particular model and
brand of shade over your Q - or over any other camera - and would
care to comment about attachment and quality?
second: there are some adapters for K lenses being advertised, what
kind of features should I be looking for? aperture control? tripod
socket? most of my lenses have aperture ring, so I my choose a
cheaper model, right?
thanks in advance!
I can't offer any advice about LCD shades. They all look too
cumbersome so I've never tried one. That said, the LCD is very
difficult to use in bright sunlight so I'd also be interested in any
experience.
If you're not planning to use any DA series lenses, then a basic
adapter without aperture control will do the job - manual focus only
though. I don't have a K-mount adapter for my Q but I do have cheap
and cheerful adapters for M42 and Konica. They work fine, not that
I've actually used them as much as I thought I might.
The Konica adapter has a tripod mount - it seems to be attached firmly
enough but I'm not sure I'd want to trust it with a heavy lens.
