Thanks for the suggestion and the review. I'm always on the lookout for a good bag for my similarly sized Q kit, and that's a damn sexy bag.

I recommend a Nintendo Wii strap on that right Q lug for safety's sake :)
On the Q? There is no BBAF AFAIK.

They are lightweight, comfy and perfectly sized for the Q.
And because they are made to withstand high speed flinging of an attached object, there is little danger that they will break and let your Q hit the ground.
I have one on each of my Q's.

The Pentax-M 3.5/135mm tele makes for a whopping 756mm equivalent super-tele on the Q. Pick one of those up for $40 or so used and a cheap $20 Fotodiox K to Q adapter, and you're in business. That particular lens is a good performer on the Q, it's very compact, and even has a handy built-in slide-out lens hood. I bought one specifically to use on the Q.
If you go that route, you may also scout around for this Pentax-A f 4/35-70 zoom. It makes a very handy 200-400mm equivalent zoom on the Q, and is also a good performer. They're also typically pretty cheap.
There are some good C-mount lenses, but there are many more good K-mounts, and they might even be cheaper. Plus, you can use them on a Pentax DSLR, should you ever take the plunge.

A few pics from a walk I took with the Q this morning. It does pretty well for a small sensor camera. The second pic is a giant, gnarled Osage Orange. Best looking dead tree I've ever seen, and it is huge, sprawling about fifty feet across its widest part.
At one point the trail I was on crossed a steep, meandering ravine cut in the mountainside by a creek. It drops a couple hundred feet or so in elevation over a short distance by a sequence of waterfalls. I've crossed this in the rainy season, and it is impressive, but the hill is so steep there's no way to get below it for a better view. The photos don't do the drop justice. A wrong slip and a person would be finished.
The final pic is the same Osage Orange processed for an Agfa B&W film effect. I tried to catch the sun through the branches, but the cloud cover was heavy, and the effect didn't quite work.
