A Q camera, adapter, red dot scope, and a telephoto lens are lots of fun to play with. This set up is a novelty, a toy - but it's not any good for serious photography.
I've spent hours with such a set up shooting waterfowl on the water. Used an expensive tripod and great technique. Didn't get a single image worthy of keeping. On none of the images did I get a sharp eye, or feather details - something I regularly get with a good telephoto lens on my APS-C sized cameras.
So, because of the disappointing results, I sold my K to Q adapter and put the "red dot scope" back on my Browning BPS 12-gauge shotgun.
