I was loosing trust in my Q. I bought it as a cheaper solutions for a long lens, I got some shots like this in the week, but they did not give the results I wished for. So I decided to go back to basics, Q+ 02.
This was last week already, spring is really announced:
Here is the restaurant linked to the swimming pool in town:
Shopping street:
Corner of bar area:
Old town arch:
Main square in town:
Tourist office:
Yep the Q is fun and very portable :D

Pentax Q + Nikon adapter + Teleconverter 1,4 + extension tube + Osawa 80-205 Macro. For my first macro tests, difficult at aiming at the subject holding manually, but the SR worked wonders:
Buds are on my red cornus, seems a bit early in the season for this, but they are here. The red branches give the nice brokeh background with this lens:

Thanks for that: I was generally shooting 15mm (about 84mm FOV equiv) full open. I'll try some more wide shots one stop down and some 7-9mm @ f4.
I also should try my lenses with my Nikon adapter a bit more, somehow in my 11-16mm test the Vibration Reduction was disabled and it seems my shutter speed was unacceptably low for that situation. I'm convinced it is just a matter of getting used to the strong points of the Q and how to use the lenses on it and when do options get disactivated.
I did read in the article above: Remember that f/4 is already equivalent to f/22 on a full format DSLR!
1) f4 is a ratio of the focal length of the lens to its diameter, your sensor size never changes this, that is why I find the above very confusing.
2) since a crop sensor, croppes the image you have a different effect of DOF, I guess that is what is meant with the sentence above?

I did a test on sharpness today:
Even if this is quite good in my book, it did not hold up against my Dslr result. I guess it just confirms the reasonable expectation, the Q is very good, but you can do better with a lot bigger material.
Did not try to find the sweet spot on the Pentax-02 yet, that might change the view.
