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. You can actually create some out of focus areas with careful placement of subject/background. The image quality is quite…
