Looks like they are splitting up some 01 and 02 kits.

I got a white one from there. Very pleased with it. I use it with an adapter and some of my old manual K-mount lenses. Tricky but I'm slowly getting the hang of it 👍

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PENTAX-Q-BODY-WHITE-EX-DEMO-GRADE-A-2-YEARS-WARRAN...item2c6fd9b477

Demo unit White 59 sterling pounds.

Jaje67 · 06-14-2013, 04:55 AM

I have one of the white ones on the way. £59, it would have been rude not too...
I have been looking for a third party adapter on amazon UK but and can only find a Polaroid version for sale. The Fotodiox version is listed but is currently unavailable.
There are some Fotodiox listed on Ebay but they may take up to 22 days to deliver!! Does anyone know of other UK websites that sell the Fotodiox or other decent K to Q adapters?
I am ideally looking for aperture control and a tripod mount. I plan to use my 50mm Auto Chinon f1.7 & DA L 35 f2.4
Sadly the Pentax version is too expensive for me just now.
Cheers

**felixkh** · 06-14-2013, 05:30 AM

How about the RJ version from Hong Kong? No aperture control though.

You are correct Larry my white body from the UK was a 02 kit with 02 missing but for $137 US including shipping it's not bad. Now I have both black & white, sounds like an old 3 dog night song.

I don't know what the shipping charges would be to the UK but I just listed some adapters in the market place if anyone is interested, having the OEM adapter I no longer need them

I am guessing I need the aoperture control for use wit DA lenses?

I assume it would be the same price as one available here / mainland europe.

Thanks for your replies and offer. I will hold out for one of the fotodiox adapters coming up on a UK site.

Yes you would need aperture control

Hans

ChrisJ · 06-14-2013, 09:09 AM

For the newer DA lenses without an aperture ring you need the aperture control, but for FA lenses and the older Manual (Pentax M) and Automatic (Pentax A) lenses that have an aperture ring on the lens you don't.

Did you get yours? How was the condition?

I received it a couple of day's after ordering. It basically looks brand new as if it had not been handled at all. It is a 01 kit minus the lens.

I don't have a lens to use with it just now but I had it turned on and the menu's are pleasingly familliar and there are some nice features I am looking forward to using.

If you have not seen or used the Q before you will be amazed at how small and robust it is. I think I would be dissapointed with the new plastic body on the Q10 / (Q7?)

I have ordered the RJ PK PK-A DA AF adapter from ebay for around £30. It has aperture control and a tripod mount - RJ Pentax PK PK A AF Da Lens to Pentax Q Adapter with Tripod Mount Aperture Ring | eBay but I am unsure about infinity focus

I will be using a Chinon 50 f1.7, Pendat DA-L 35 f2.4 and Beroflex 500 f8 on it and will post samples here https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/pentax-q/209474-adapted-lenses-tested-q-r...ce-thread.html

Cheers

Infinity focus will work. (Getting the focus right with my unsteady hands, now that is another story.)
Congrats, look forward to your photos.
