Good find Doc.
That looks like a new design - it seems to have ridges inside too that probably helps with the reflection problems we had with the old ones.
I'm going to order one and see how it works.

Keep us posted please (like I had to ask

).

Yes please, there is à review that states that the release of K-mount lenses is a bit awkward and fiddly. Would love to read your experiences with this adapter!

I would mainly use it to use the DA* 300, which is probably only usable full open. But perhaps it will hook me like the Q and make me mount my old Takumar glass as well :-)

DA*300 works best at 5.6 on the Q in my testing. (It is my favorite lens for the Q)

See the sticky thread at the top of the forum for user experiences with other lenses on the Q.
