Originally posted by ChopperCharles Curious about the Auto 110 lenses, and how they work on the Q. I understand there's an adapter for micro 4/3rds that has a built in aperture control. Wondering if such a thing exists for the Q, or if it's possible to use a 110->m 4/3 and then an m 4/3->Q adapter to get iris control if a Q one doesn't exist.
Also curious of the lenses are even worth my time. The 50mm sounds really interesting, as it's super tiny...

Hi guy,
I've had a complete Auto 110 system since it was released in the 80s -- all the prime lenses, except the 18mm fixed focus, since I had the regular 18. Have had a Q for a year; bought an adopter immediately. The 50 is a pretty good lens on the Q; the 70 is very, very good, though. My Q kit is currently the 01 prime, 02 Zoom, 03 Fisheye, 06 Telephoto zoom, and the Auto 110 70mm.
The 70 is beautiful and sharp. It was a beyotch to hand hold before the latest firmware update added antishake; it's very long and very, very light.
Also just bought a K mount adapter; going to try out my 50 1.2 and 135 1.8 on the Q. Or the Q on them, given how big they are.
Picked up a second Q when I bought the 02 Zoom; kept the lens and gave the Q and an 03 Fisheye to my daughter for Christmas. She immediately stole my Auto 110 adapter and all the lenses, except the 70, which I wouldn't give up..
Hope that helps.
