Thanks a bunch, guys!
I wasn't expecting such response, and as quickly!
Well, it becomes a matter of deciding what is the best:
1. In terms of IQ
2. Ease of use/handling
3. The final "reach" ... as long as I can get to a 35mm eq. of 500mm +, I'd be happy.
I do have a couple of candidates already, but I don't even know how they would perform with the Q + adapter:
1. A Zeiss 85/1.4 ZK ... the focus ring is somewhat "stiff" and that is one heavy lens!
2. A Vivitar 135/2.8 close focus ... all manual this one.
3. the DA*300/4 .... sample shots from other members using it seem good, not quite what I want in terms of IQ quality; Yeah I know: I am asking too much
Nothing in between 135-300mm though.
So, I'll start with the "candidates" which I already own and search for a good quality 200mm'ish lens as per suggested above.
Next step is to go and browse the thread about adapted lenses on the Q. Good suggestion.
The adapter should be in by mid week, next week and we shall go from there.
Thanks again, people!

Edited: For what it's worth, I do have a 200mm-ish lens: it is the Tamron 70-200/2.8; huge, heavy, and not sure at all what this would do on a Q !??
I checked for the M 100/2.8 and the M 135/3.5; also looks very interesting.
