I don't see listed what lens it comes with? Maybe body only?

It says Kit but does not specify, but it is pictured with the 8.5/1.9 lens.

Wish I lived down in your country, I'd be very tempted by this.

When I look at the drop down box for deliveries it shows US & Canada. Not Australia though, at $298 I think this is a reasonable price.

The lens is mentioned nowhere on the page. I looked at the q dual kit and the K5 and both pages mention the lens. Let us know if it arrives with the lens.

That K-5 price is really expensive. Maybe that's how they fund other items like the Q.

As Doc said, it's quite likely a price mixup with the Optio VS-20. Hopefully they will go through with the ones they have sold though.

This is a BIG mistake, they've honored small mistakes in the past but $600+ ones have been hit or miss. Good luck to the purchasers.

Either that or they overestimate the value of a Optio.

I ordered it and I also ordered a K-mount -Q mount adapter.

Jodokast96 · 03-15-2012, 07:19 PM

Did just notice this:

"E257713-Pentax Q 12.4MP DSLR Kit White,None"

Makes me wonder if it's body only. I'll hold off on the adapter for now until I'm sure it is what it's claimed to be, but I am interested on where you picked yours up.

jogiba · 03-15-2012, 07:52 PM

I ordered the K-mount and C-mount to Q mount adapters from Amazon .

They stopped the ordering on it - when you attempt to put it in the cart, it "messages out" with a note to call CS for ordering info...

Someone caught the error. Let's see how the handle the orders already taken, and charge cards presumably already charged......
