Hi Everybody

Last week i went to Oradour-sur-Glane memorial, Pentax Q and 02 were with me ( as well my K5 + 8-16 sigma UGA). Definitively the small Q is a good companion.

FYI The village of Oradour-sur-Glane in Haute-Vienne ( FRANCE) in Nazi occupied France, was destroyed on 10 June 1944, when 642 of its inhabitants, including women and children, were massacred by a German Waffen-SS company. the original village was left untouched since then and it's now a memorial and museum. RIP

Here are some photos taken with Pentax Q and 02 lens.

Thanks for sharing. Another instance of the Q and its front dial being very useful and practical. The B&W shots are much more powerful IMHO.

Beautiful shots... thank you very much for sharing. Agree with Docrwm, the Q shines through yet again.

Beautiful and moving photos. The magnificent television history of the second world war, The World at War, narrated by Lawrence Olivier, begins by talking about Oradour-sur-Glane.

My problem with the front dial is that sometimes it gets turned "by accident" (in other words, I'm not aware of doing it), and I end up with settings I wasn't aware of having changed.

Congratulations on an excellent set.

Haven't really had that problem but brief review of images on the screen ought to catch that issue after the first shot.

Awesome pictures, thank you for sharing both them and the info about this memorial.
