reh321 wouldn't let the adapter stand in the way. Buy a new one with aperture ring. Unless you are buying the Pentax oem adapter, the others can be had for less than $40. The lens shade costs more than that to replace on the DA*300.

Beautiful images wildman. I also like your take on bird photography. I find the Q and Pentax DA*300 to be about the least amount of magnification that is useful for smaller birds. The Q is a godsend for skittish birds. Have had some luck with 4/3 and aps-c on a Celestron 5" cat.
Thanks

Sapporodan, the thing that worries me about the sensor is there doesn't seem to be any quality improvement. None of the Q have better quality than the original model. The only exception might be the Q7. I would argue it gets improvement only from the larger sensor. Not a better sensor. Has sensor tech stalled?
I would never change the sensor size again to use the Fuji sensor. Pentax needs manufacturers to choose from. Locking into a size only one company makes is a terrible idea. Kind of like the original ful frame with Philips sensor. We still havan't recovered from that one.
Love snostorm's TeleQ idea.
thanks
