Nice pics Crewl1 and LeRolls.
@Crewl1: did you have to paint the inside of Fotodiox adapter to get better IQ?

What type of picture can I take with Q and a 35mm (192mm equivalent) 2.4 Lens? Is the FL suitable for landscape and/or portrait taking?

Yet more questions about the Q firmware updates.

Why have to pray while you can put the firmware file on SD card, update the Q 1st, then format the card, put the lens firmware file on SD card, update lens firmware. That way you wouldn't have to worry about anything

My Q family - needs suggestions !!

Current:
- Q + Prime 01: $340 from a local shop
- 32 GB Class 10 Transcend SD card: $27
- Fotodiox K to Q mount: $35
- Carrybag + LCD protector: $15

Planning to buy:
1) Tele-wide finder: Seems quite easy to get in the US. Quite hard in my country...
2) Wasabi battery + charger: ( Amazon.com: Wasabi Power Battery and Charger Kit for Pentax D-LI68, D-LI122 and Pentax Q, Q10, Optio A36, Optio S10, Optio S12, Optio VS20: Camera & Photo )
3) M42 to Q mount: which version should I get and link please? (i'm from Vietnam so quite hard to buy the accessories)
4) Pentax DA 35mm F2.4 AL: cos I heard this lens is of incredible value and saw some nice picture taken with it in Vietnamese forums - would this lens + adapter perform much better than the Prime 01 and in which type of photography?
5) Which M42 lens is nice for macro or telephoto and what skills do I need to pull off those critical MF?
6) Any accessories/ lens that you guys would recommend me to get to compliment the Q family.

Many thanks for your time! :D

I got a white Q for a while, then i thought it looks too soft/cute/girly and the color would not match well with future lens i might buy... so I switched to a black Q. When my wife got to know abt this, she mad at me for a whole day though :)

Which SD card type is best used for the Q?

Today i went to a local shop, bought a 32GB Class 10 Transcend SD card and check the serial number there, which showed "Verified" status. Then I went home, put the SD card in my laptop card reader slot, use CrystalDiskMark to test the sequential read/write speed. The result: Read: 18.26MB/s, Write: 16.11MB/s. So the card is an authentic one, right? :D
PS: oh and btw, When I use the Q in RAW or RAW+ mode, the picture is recorded significantly faster than my previous 8GB Class 4 Sony SD card.

So you agree with me that "by owning 2 cards with 10% fail chance you cannot come to conclusion that your chance of having a fail card is 20%" or you still think that your original argument is right? :p

Technical and performance info aside, I simply love the look of the Q over Q10, more classic, more robust. Thanks for your post barondla

Can you provide some picture of the camera with accessories on so that I have an idea of how the solid LCD protector and Pentax hood looks like? Oh, and where can I buy these items as well. Thank you!

Haha, now the thread is about math :D.
@Anvh: having 2 cards generally mean you have [10% chance of fail card] + [10% chance of fail card]. The only thing you can deduce from here is the chance that both cards will fail at the same time is 0.1x0.1 = 0.01 = 1%. You cannot come to conclusion that the chance of your bunch of cards will fail is 20%. If so, you can carry 10 cards and there is 100% that one of them will fail ;)

Peace out ^^
Anyway thanks for your suggestions guys, i've decided that i will go with class 10 transcend SD as they also provide web-checking for serial number, which hopefully decrease the chance of a fake card

Hi guys,

I've just been back from the Bangkok trip, took quite some good pictures with the Q but due to my wife not feeling well we couldn't explore the whole Bangkok.

I want to ask which SD card class is best for the Q, i.e. would a class 10 write speed far exceed the limit write speed of the camera so class 6 is sufficient? or class 10 is a must to maximize RAW shooting capabilities?
- Is this better to buy 2 x 16GB card to avoid memory failure -> losing data or stick with 1 x 32GB card for convenience?
- Which brand do u guys suggest/ using for your Q? I heard Sandisk, Transcend are good, but a lot of fake SD card are being manufactured and sold in my country :(

Thanks for reading!

Newbie needs help* What settings to use for vacation trip

Ha! thank you barondla, I just figured out after posting that I carelessly left the front dial at 1, that explained trwhy i couldnt get to shoot in RAW ^^. Anyway, i have a few questions after trying out few different settings with the Q:
1. What is the best approach with the Q so that i can get the most shallow DOF for portrait shooting? (how far from the person/ shutter speed, aperture..., mainly in day light)
2. As I am inexperienced, should I play around with JPEG or shoot RAW straight away?
3. What battery specification should I look onto when trying to find spare battery for my Q? (just identical mAh, charging current and voltage enough?)
Thank you guys for bearing with me. 2moro i'm flying, Thailand here i come :D

I could not change the file format from JPEG to RAW although i followed the manual by turning off both Digital Filter and HDR Capture. What should i do to enable RAW shooting?

I just bought a Q recently due to seeing a very good offer at 320$ for the Q and prime 01 kit. After reading various posts in this forum I've decided to bring the Q along for a Thailand trip with my wife. I will be using it mainly for taking photos of my wife, attraction and Thailand street & night life. As i'm very new to DLSR camera, can I know which settings should i keep mainly for the mentioned purposes. Should I set a few features to the quick dial so that it can offer me better flexibility, if it is then what are the best custom user choice should I put in these quick dials. Many thanks for reading my post!
