I still use mine for Infrared images, i think the M8 makes some of the best B&Ws from infrared shots.

QS-1 with the 02 lens. I finally started using that dial on the front for something, aspect ratio changes.

The adapter is a great add on for the M , I use the 100mm macro and my L lenses without problems. Canon is releasing a EF-M Macro lens soon at a good price that I may have to get.

I have the Original M and a M3. The M3 is a much better camera than the original M. The original M is a good camera after the firmware update was installed.

On the left is the Pentax 8mm f1.5, on the right is the Marshal 4mm f2.8.
Hope that helps

Thanks. As for showing them on the Q, no trouble really, I'll get them shot by this weekend.

This lens is for a 1/3" camera sensor and it will vignette on the Q.
construction:
All metal barrels with a small rubber focusing band
Glass lenses
F2.5 fixed aperture
Smaller than the 03
Image quality
Once you get past the vignetting the images are reasonably sharp and have good color. The lens records a good amount of detail and acts like a fisheye. Focus is manual and has twice the throw of the 03 so it is slightly easier to focus than the 03.
Cropping out the vignetting will leave you useable images if framed correctly. Priced at $23 from B&H, it is a fun lens to play with and the images don't look so toy like.
Included image shot in Jpeg with out any adjustments

I have only had this lens for a day but so far it looks like a winner.
Construction:
All metal, well machined grip for the aperture, and a nice "M like" rubber insert on the focusing barrel.
All glass lenses.
Heavy for its size.
Three blade aperture.
It is bigger than the 03 and smaller than the 02 lenses.
Image quality:
Sharper than the 02.
Somewhat "cool", I add some magenta and contrast to the image.
Shows good amount of detail.
From F2 to F8 the lens is good, but is at it's best at 4-5.6, I did not test it at 1.5 yet. It has long focus throw making manual focusing this lens very easy. The controls are smooth and easy to use. Being an industrial lens, the lens should give years of service.
I have a black 02 kit and finding an 01 lens without paying silly money or buying another kit at a higher price than I paid for the 02 kit seems to be impossible. So after some searching I found this lens from Pentax. This lens looks good on the Q and the 02 lens cap fits perfectly. The 01 probably out resolves it and is made for the camera but if you have the 02 kit this is a good option. Priced at $95 vs the $240 I have seen for the 01 alone I can live with this lens. I paid $12 for the C to Q adapter.

I have been debating the K-01 for a while now, and the recent price drop sold me. I just got it and I am impressed with it's abilities so far, but I learned not to wear a light colored shirt while shooting it in bright sunlight.

So using a metal based finder works without problems?
