Just a thought if you don't need poster-size blowups and AF:
Buy a new closeout Q complete with 5-15mm zoom for $189 at NewEgg. Add a Fotodiox M42 (V1 - no flange) adapter at $30.
Buy an SMC Takumar F1.4 50mm lens for maybe $70. Its an F1.4 280mm on the Q.
Buy an SMC Takumar F3.5 135mm for maybe another $50. Its an F3.5 750mm on the Q.
Or use whatever existing lenses you have with a K adapter instead.
You get 'long' lenses on the cheap, plus an extra camera
I did - lots of fun. Easy to tote. Couple shots below with 135mm hand-held. Full frame and cropped. Probably a lot sharper with a tripod.
