Originally posted by Michaelina2 May I ask "Why develop a lens for the Q?" Is it NOT considered obsolete? I'm under the impression that its been replaced by the Q7 and Q-S1 (VERY different critters... right?). Does that change your spec? How much are you willing to pay for a lens like you propose?
Now, let's say you step up to the Q7, or Q-S1, then dedicate the next six months to becoming a world class post- processor and succeed. How might that change your spec?
Just curious... M
Michaelina2 - Sorry I was meaning all the Q system cameras, although I have an original Q, I know Pentax will not design lenses for it any more. I am saving up to upgrade, but have not decided on a Q7 or S-1
As for the price, sadly I have very little money to spend on camera gear. Like a lot of people I was drawn to the Q (System) on the hope that the Q lenses will be cheaper, and so far (apart from the 08) they have been. Although I understand the need for few luxury lenses in the list (the 08 must have taken a lot of designing), I really hope they don't put up the prices of new lenses too much.
