the only thing I can see is the 01..
but its prices have risen to over 200 now..
I'm hoping to pick up something used or discount for around 100-150 range.
basically I just want a walkaround lens that I can shoot normal shots with and have good image quality.
I had an 02 but i sold it because it was really horrible..
It's just really dissapointing to have to compare my 7 year old camera phone to my Q and have the phone give it a run...
let me know.
I'm open to adapters with old style lenses,
but I dont see myself shooting any normal shots with a 1000000x zoom lens ;)

Thank you. what kind of problems, specifically, have you run into while trying to adapt these lenses?
I understand now about the crop factor. So that might hamper my hopes of a pancake prime working, as its focal length might be too deep.
I am lucky though. As a huge portion of what I hope to shoot is wildlife, birds specifically.
so getting that huge crop factor to make a monster zoom would actually be a great benefit!!

this is why I love the internet. No offense to you sir. You're no different than any other person :)
But it's just funny how people pay no attention to what's going on and just focus on saying whatever they want.
ie: it's only an obvious answer if you choose not to read my post and answer my actual question :)

I have the 2 kit lens
It's not completely terrible but I do artist photography. So I need it to look right.
Not really judging it by point and shoot standards. My previous cams were canon and Sony dslr.
The 2 has a hazy softness that floats over images in certain situations. It is also not as sharp as I might like and the bokeh is honestly... One of the worst I've seen.
I don't trust website reviews much. Rather what I can see.
Also manual focus is fine. Im just hoping to fit pancake lens on a pancake size adaptor and have it be pocket friendly.

So i just got a q,
great little camera.
alittle dissapointing that the sensor is so small.. but hey, whatcha gonna do.
its dynamic range is great and pictures are pretty!
so anyways, I feel like the stock lens is kinda.. well.. suck.
I'd like to adapt a pancake lens from a nother manufacturer onto it.
but I want the entire package to still be small enough to fit in a pocket.
SOOOOOOooo.. any advice for you on which manufacturers pancake lens I should get would be great.
i'm looking for optimal image quality (minimal distortion and greater sharpness).
advice would be great thanks.
