Pentax Q vs. K-5 vs. D800 from the dark side?

Pentax Q vs. K-5 vs. D800 from the dark side?

Your hard-working PentaxForums site owner and administrator was spotted on Christmas Day in the Salt River Canyon in Arizona.

He was on a somewhat dubious mission trying to shed light on the often made claim by our Pentax Q users that the Q + K-mount adapter + K-mount telephoto lens betters an APS-C or even a full-frame DSLR for high-magnification telephotos!

Besides the rig from the dark side we also spotted a Pentax K-5 in the arsenal. 

Now we're anxiously awaiting the results! Does the $600 Q outfit buy you more than a $6,000 outfit from the dark side?

Stay tuned for Adam's findings when he reemerges from the Canyon!

Him again?
