Looking forward to these tests.
Do you prefer using a "K" lens vs. a "M" type on the Q?

JP: Since I just sold my M100/2.8 to another Q user (who immediately resold it here because he didn't like the PF it threw out for him with the K>Q adapter) I have NO M lenses. I've always had a fondness for K's, though I've tried and sold some wonderful M's (75~150, 50/1.4. 50/1.7 come to mind). I was in lust with Pentax in the 70's and I haven't gotten over it.
I'm paring things down to what I use - both lenses and bodies. A few of my really old Auto Tak lenses are at Eric's for lubrication because they haven't been exercised and my K2DMD ASA ring also got sticky again for the same reason. That's a sign I have more stuff than I use, so all the M's are now gone.
I have some oddball M42 lenses a buddy gave me. I'm really jonesing to try this Soligor 180/3.5 and the Vivitar 135/2.8 (previously mentioned). February sux in St. Louis, though - dark before I leave and by the time I get home from work.
