So I've been at it again and adapted a lens from a Konica Revio CL APS point and shoot to Q mount. It works best as a macro lens and with focus peaking and zooming in for focusing.

For more samples and info you can see it at my blog

Yes I'm already working on a 35mm f2.8 that should give better results (196mm equivelent) as well as a 5mm 2.8 which will be a 28mm equivelent but that one is proving tough as the registration distance places it inside the Q mount

A wide prime would be lovely indeed!

I wonder whether Pentax has some nice 2.0 lenses planned...

Those photos look pretty damn sharp to me. Can you post a how-to?

Wow. You going beyond a pancake with that 5mm lens. Not many lenses the Q can't handle with its ultra short registration distance. Going inside the mount has to be tight as there isn't much room there.

Have to try this later on.
thanks

That is just too cool! The pics look great, by the way!

Looking great! I guess you can get old PnS cameras cheap and try to adept their lenses to the Q. I'm still waiting for my Q body cap to arrive to be able to mod an Smena 8m lens to Q.
