51 dollar
This must be my lucky day. I got the K-watch today ( https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/pentax-news-rumors/222284-ricoh-pentax-re...ml#post2403893 ) and after reading the user manual for an hour, I decided to drive to a new photo store which was opening today. They had a lot of nice "first-day" deals and I got a Q with the 01 lens for $51. So now I have two of them :-)

Are you in the same Norway I'm in?! "Cheap" around here is usually US prices + 60%.

No point in asking where this shop is. I'm sure this was an opening day special. Either that, or it is 1500 km away. Just my luck...

Good catch, though! Congrats!

It is japanphoto in Stavanger today and tomorrow. There is no more Q cameras, but a few K-7 for very good prices.

Oh, I've wanted to travel to Stavanger for a long time. Too bad I didn't know about this.

A 1100 km round trip from Oslo wouldn't have been worth it anyway. And just as well - it's not as if I need more gear... Or at least not a new system
