Hello from Sacramento, CA...

I just bought a Pentax Q from amazon and it should be here by tomorrow. I wanted a small camera to play around with as I learn proper photography. Plus, it was only $100 or so, which will not break my bank. Anyways, I've been searching ebay for the 01 Prime lens or 02 zoom, but it appears those lenses only come in silver color. Did Pentax ever sell black lenses? I've seen pictures online of the black Q lenses, but none for sale anywhere. I did see a black 02 Standard Zoom for sale, but it's from Japan. Besides the Q lenses, are there alternative lenses I should look for for my Q?

Great to be here!

The 02 kit lens is available in yellow, black, and silver (currently), but only the silver version is available outside of a kit.

You'd have to find someone who took apart one of these kits to get your hands on a black lens:

Welcome to the forum, enjoy that Q once you get your hands on her.

Welcome! The possibilities for other lenses on the Q are near on limitless. Have a look at this thread to get an idea!
