Alien butterflies, but where are they? (Fermi),
The JWST will only produce interesting pictures of white dots and nebulous
objects as well as absorption lines mostly of H and He.
My Pentax gear however .

I thought it was appropriate in the context of the hipster thread. ;-)
Actually, it had lots of manual controls and it's kind of a waste on
the all automatic types.

Pentax Q: the best camera combined with the worst marketing in the history of the universe?

2012-08-15 Thread Darren Addy 
ep your eye on Amazon Deals, it is possible to get a returned Q
kit (all-but-new) for around $335 and that makes it a "BUY"
recommendation, in my book.

People are waiting for the overdue, but promised Pentax K to Q adapter
but if it isn't announced at Photokina I don't think it is coming at
all. (And if it ever does, there will be more jeers over its price).
That one piece alone, would have potentially turned the Q into a
vehicle for selling more DFA 100mm macros (if nothing else). Yet
Pentax features nobody using the Q in these ways. In short, I think
the the Q may be the best camera that is combined with the worst
marketing in the history of the universe.
