If you are willing to go "uncorrected," just get the 03 fisheye, or 02 Zoom. Accept them for what they are and use them to their limits until something better comes along. Keep in mind, the Q is NOT a substitute for a DSLR. It's NOT a miniature K-5, or D800E... it's a Q and it's different. You'll only meet frustration and disappointment if you try to make it something its not.
This! I love the fisheye, and have had a blast shooting with it, but its not really a WA... A fish of a different animal.
The zoom is my other option, and its got weaknesses, also; IQ with it is more akin to any old small-sensor compact, the long end shows significantly reduced contrast due to spherical aberration, and its not really fast enough... And it doesn't show all the fine detail the Q sensor can resolve. But you know what? It can still produce lovely photos... And it includes the built in shutter and ND filter which is useful.
I'm going to test a theory here. My wife and I took two very similar photos; her with her Q and 02 zoom:
Me with my X-Pro and 60mm:
Notwithstanding the slight differences in approach or color, how big do you think I can print them before the X-Pro image becomes noticeably higher in IQ? I have a theory, and it revolves around the 02 being "good enough" so I'm going to put it to the test.
