Mmmm
Why hasn't anyone commented That K mount stands for King and Q mount stands for Q
I think I answered the question. Its just that I can't find a reference to back me up. I've been using pentax for 45 years so I have lots of useless information such as K stands for the King of all mounts.
news break
Shock horror!!! I just found a reference to K is for King etc on Ricehigh website - So everyone will automatically thinks it isn't true
Quote Ricehigh "Jul 5, 2011 - As we all know, Pentax Q does not support any EVF (Electronic View-Finder) nor there .... It says that Pentax K mount is "King" and so because the new mount is smaller and lighter, they decide to call new mount Q for "Queen".

The K5 was (is) the game changer, lower noise, wide dynamic range, the difference will be visible. My K5 Flickr set.

Do you think the original question is answered or is this just someone's fiction
