Follow up and last comment about the PD adapter.
I gave it three coats of flat black, although there was still a little sheen.
Made no difference to the quality of my results.
So, either I'm an idiot (my first choice) or none of the lenses I have are suited.
Bottom line, a have a free adapter to give away to anyone who pays the postage, I'm not interested in it any longer.

Seems a messy solution... I may give it a try or I may just bin it.
Is the genuine Pentax adapter matt black inside??

Sorry, you're probably right - maybe a mod can split the thread for me?

Yes I have a fairly decent Velbon Tripod and as said, it's not enough for the Q with a long lens.
In the interim I dug out an old manual sigma zoom III f4.5 84mm and tried that with significantly better results (compared to what I was getting). The focus ring has much more travel enabling far easier focusing and amazingly there is pretty much zero CA!

OK, so looking at the successes others have had, I bought the adapter (RJ Pentax PK PK-A AF DA lens to Pentax Q adapter with tripod mount aperture ring), so what am I doing wrong?
My pictures are 100% c**p. Hazy, out of focus (even though I enabled focus peaking) and CA like I need 3D glasses to view the pics.
Tried the 30mm SIGMA prime, the 18-250mm DA and the 18-55mm DA. Just rubbish, rubbish results.
The Q always shows AV on the screen, the aperture rind is useful - but it's not helping.
Hand held or tripod, I'm getting truly bad results.. I mean shocking bad.. :(
Someone have a step by step fool proof process to use let's say the 18-250mm with the adapted Q?
