I’m still working with the Pentax Q and the 03 Fish Eye to see if I can work with this lens on an upcoming motorcycle trip. In our last episode I noted that it’s ok up close but focusing on mid-distance and far subjects was difficult because the Q only has 4x MF zoom assist.…

Via Flickr:Nearly 70 and still joking. When I grow up I wanna be like him.

All of the Pentax Q photos posted so far have been with the very very nice 01 Standard Prime. It’s a 47mm equivalent lens with a fast F1.9 aperture. The speed is very nice to have.

While we all pixel peeping and DR talk that we do improves our mastery of the craft of photography, it does little to further the art of photography.

What you do with it after is…

This much maligned little fella is pumping out pretty clean ISO800 and very usable ISO1600. I’ll admit that like everyone else I balked at the sensor size and the launch price, but at current prices I…

It’s just one tomato, actually, but “A Tale of One Tomato Photographed a Number of Times” just didn’t roll off the tongue. So here’s a couple of shots with the Pentax Q. Here’s the first one: This is 1/6s @ F2.5. I’m bracing the camera against the countertop, but still, this isn’t bad – you…

The cameras, silly, not the tomato! Full-frame, fixed-lens rangefinder Olympus XA vs. fingernail-frame, interchangeable lens hybrid Pentax Q. Will I grow to adore the little Q as much as I have the XA? Only time will tell…

Messing around with the Pentax Q. It’s surprisingly capable for its size. This moka pot ain’t bad either…makes a good single espresso.
