But the 08 is more than I paid for any of my bodies-with a lens or two. LOVE my Q's as a purse cam, car cam and travel cam, but it's not my main cam, man, and I'm kinda hoping to be talked out of dropping the extra cash!
What say you, wise 08 owners?
OK, as an 08 (06,03,01,02) owner, I have to say, this Q lens is the one I use the most.
At the long end on the original Q, it's virtually a 35mm FF equivalent, which is almost normal.
And on the Q7, it gives you the kind of compact wide-angle capability
that will make you want to take it along as a supplement to your main camera.
The IQ is outstanding, which makes the price look cheap
compared to what you'd have to pay elsewhere for that level of wide-angle coverage.
Go for it!
