Update, 1st test done, and a big thanks to all contributors to the thread!

Just a quick snap from my balcony, nothing special, auto-setting from SPP, lens was a Meyer Optik 29mm 2.8. Auto-evrything, auto X3F-to-jpg in SPP 3.5 (except for darkening the shadows more)

I love the way the camera draws the clouds.

The OVF is also a pleasant surprise, much better than that of the old Pentax I was gifted a while ago.

1 problem, now I want the SDQH too

[...] mainly because the sensor dust cover/filter is recessed further away from the lens flange, permitting the use of lenses that would damage that filter on the SD14, SD15, or SD Merrill.

This warning also provided extemely valuable, thanks again!! The first lens I wanted to test (a Meyer 35mm 4.5 which has a strong colour character) looked a bit too recessed upon closer inspection.

And of course I have to thank all others for the input and insights in this thread.
