Yes, Pentax needs to say something about plans for Q-system update.  It's a very unique system that deserves good marketing directed at users who want unparalleled portability of a complete lens ...

Thanks very much. I flipped the Washington Monument because it's been shot to death in correct orientation - there's little one can do to get interest in that subject any longer. The Newseum is ...

Thank you, Phil.

It was multiple exposures of perhaps 1/8th second each, averaged in the camera.  The EXIF apparently can't reflect the shutter speed properly in such cases.  I do not understand the default to ...

Placed 14^th in the challenge.

That's the Q7 "Complete Kit" or "Premium Kit" bag.  I carried that bag with the same selection of lenses, except the 02, until I found the Pentax "Optio" bag, which is about the same size but with ...

. . . slow enough for daytime water blur.

The focal length of the 03 on a Q camera is 3.2mm, not 17.5. That said, I've never had a Q camera ask me for the focal length of an 03.   That should happen only with older manual lenses on DSLR's, ...

Great question, great answer!

thanks very much.  i enjoy the Q and hope they upgrade it.

In case the Q-series is really over, I found a good price on a second 06 in case I drop or lose the one I have.  They cannot be repaired anywhere.  I thought I was buying from a USA source but it ...

Thank you. In a case smaller than my shaving kit, I've got the Q7, 01, 03, 06, 07, 08, 2 polarizers, and 2 extra batteries. It's very easy to have the entire system with me all the time. All of ...

Thank you.  I think a "Q-Pro" model would be a great thing, but I doubt it will be forthcoming.

. . . just to let Pentax know that yes, some of are still shooting with it.

Mine came in at #20.  I posted another shot at first, but withdrew it when I saw that Pentax Forum was comparing wide angles and mentioned defishing the Pentax DA 10-17 fisheye.  So I decided to ...

Placed 19^th in the challenge.

Well here's one with the 04 wide 'toy' lens -- you never see any of those. It shows little 'toy" characteristics, being fairly sharp; this is downsized almost 3/4ths from the original. As for the ...

Congratulations on that one. It has a fabulous look to it.
