We should not forget that there was at least one Q 09 Telephoto Macro lens out there in the wild ….. once.

Totally shopped. The highlights on the lens are not the same as on the hot shoe.

This is VERY likely real. The guy behind that is Kimio Tanaka, a well-known photographer in Japan who often hosts talk sessions for Ricoh/PENTAX in CP+ (he did so this year too, probably you've already read about it on rumors forum).

He reported on a prototype Q 09 lens last year, and the photo is from his tweet at that time.

There was a thread about this right here in Q forum. Basically Tanaka-san blogged that he "borrowed" the lens from an unnamed source abroad without Ricoh's knowledge and was surprised to see how well it performed, that it's very unlikely Ricoh will sell this but there may be the tiniest sliver of hope, and he wondered if influential Pentax dealers like Yaotomi could launch a petition with the users.
The last part never materialized as far as I know.

And the thread about this was not in Q forum but in the rumors forum.
