Q-isms: the language of Q owners

**crewl1** · 01-21-2013, 10:08 AM

I've been reading Quite a lot of Q puns tossed around in the Q forum.
Share your faves!

Qute - how the camera looks to many

Queue - when your desired Q or the accessories you need for your Q are not in stock you get put into a Queue

Quest - the search for that perfect c mount lens that will produce amazing images at a fraction of the cost of Pentax Q lenses

Qat - typical feline first model for a Q owner

Qeep rate - (saw this one today K9-K5) The low percentage of usable shots from trying to hand hold adapted lenses on the Q

Most are not mine, sorry for not crediting since I'm not sure where I saw these (so feel free to claim ownership)

No inQnuity for those making, modding, and adapting unintended items to their Q?

The Continuum - what you have joined by purchasing a Q.

Would that be Qontinuum then?

Thera-Q-Tic; using a Q as a break from more sophisticated Pentax cameras.

Qmbersome - How unbalanced adapted lenses are.

Don't remember which member coined it but:
Quser, user of a Q.

I'll add:
Quotes, notes one keeps while trying out different lenses, and their settings.

EnQsiasm -- the devotion the Q inspires in its users.

Qser Interface: tiny buttons.

Learning Qrve: getting used to adapted lenses on the Q.

Qbert: a video game from long ago. I just thought I'd toss that in there.
