The addition of the Q to K-mount adapter adds quite a bit of functionality to this Pentax\u00a0system.\u00a0 Like many people I have a hard time pinning down what the Pentax Q cameras are supposed to by, maybe it’s easier to say what they are not.\u00a0 They are not a replacement for a DSLR\u00a0and they are not necessarily a replacement for a point and shoot.\u00a0 Yet they can do a bit of both and more. With the adapter the Q does something neither of the others can and that is to provide a fast and\u00a0extreme telephoto in a tiny package.\u00a0 As an owner of Pentax lenses it becomes an inexpensive extension\u00a0of what I already have.\u00a0 If you toss in the 03 fish eye then it makes it even more versatile and unique system.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
