I have a bit of an issue with that form factor. You do realize that
you lose almost all the benefit of the small body when using a lens of
that size. Why can't Pentax make a more compact 600mm that will work
with the Q? ;-)

Is that a FA 600 in your pocket or are you just happy to see me.

That's just lame.  

But Bill would be OK - the Q's not a DSLR.  I think I'd enjoy watching
him argue that point with some officious twit trying to enforce the DSLR

If I did the math right the angle of view on that combination will be 
something like .75ยบ on the diagonal.  There are craters on the Moon that 
will be too big to use as a target.

Doesn't look big enough to be the mighty 600/4.0 - I'm guessing the A
