For anyone wondering if Q delivers for print - I posted earlier that I had made a deal with the Yellowpages group for the cover of a local directory. And it arrived on my doorstep today - Remember to shoot in Raw (i'd never have been able to sell this if I was shooting JPG).

Love Q for close up work because of the cropping factor. This is 21mm Ltd with Extension Tubes mounted on Q for K mount adapter on an original Q. Broken Panes by _Matt_T_, on Flickr

Q gets paid!
I just invoiced Yellow Pages for this one. Standard 01 lens - and here is a good reason to shoot RAW - they wanted an uncompressed file greater than 25MB to suit their graphic design needs. The village by _Matt_T_, on Flickr

Isnt the Q nice.. some times its just there when you need it. I was shooting a month with a fish eye and bolted out of the house to catch rainbows resultant from a thunder storm - the Q was conveniently tucked away in my car.

danou - love it !! Jackassp shared plenty of Adelaides graffiti with us over in the Single In group. It seems all of Australia is filled with aspiring street artists!
I had the Q out today for kicks. i had not been shooting it much, and I've taken a break from Single In Challenges so I can play a little bit.

Cross posted from today's Single In September thread. Q + Q to K adapter + Extensiontube #1 + FA 35/2. I was wishing for more DoF... but what do you do...

I'll bet you have, this is what you get by poking your Q where it doesn't belong ;) Most everyone shooting from here dont realize that just beyond the parkway railing is a slim fringe of wildflowers before the big plunge below. Usually you will see this instead... (note my photo looks as though I am in some isolated spot, but I was standing in among the tourists)

This is getting to be a pretty busy thread - great shots, I like the conversion above.. i'm finding the RAW is pretty pliable. Beautiful spaniel too.

M 28/3.5 + extension tube on adapter. Shallow DoF becomes problematic if the samples are not flat.

Was that an in cam B&W conversion? Lovely portrait.
I've been using Q for more mundane activities. The following is an idea of how handy the tools of macro can be amplified. The image below is the back side of a peel of wood coating, and you can see all the wood fibres hanging off the back quite nicely. Wood Fibre by _Matt_T_, on Flickr

Put the Q away for a few days, but brought it along for a walk into town. I love this little porch. #3 Ontario Street by _Matt_T_, on Flickr

Phil! Terrific. Larry the Macro - stunning. And I love the 2nd shot from Lowes. I've been following this thread for a few weeks. I picked up a Q and just today recieved the q-K lens adapter. My tripod foot is not in yet so I farted around hand held not quite figuring how the Aperture control works. Lots of fun.
