Q7 combi is nice.
And in fact it can zoom in at least 4x more, just that the flash over shoot the lens when used nearer with a short lens like the vivitar 55mm, so it prevented me from getting any nearer.


I think he play his piano too fast and Q7 with 3rd party adapter is forced to use 1/15 max flag sync speed.
Only the OEM adapter is able to use 1/250.

I sure hope they release the nwtive macro lens or a new Q that can have a fast electronic shutter that works round this limitation.

OIC .. ya i forget about the slow sync speed.. 1/15 ouch too slow.. ya hope pentax Q do come up with a native macro lens..

Here are my shots.
Very rusty at this, almost forgot to bring quite a bit of stuff.
Doh! moment, I used the Vivitar 55/2.8 (not my usual F100/2.8 macro), so the flash over extended the subject if going larger magnification, so ended up not utilizing the full potential of the Q7+macro setup.

JK, just learn how to remove the harsh white lights on the shinny leave using K brush. Can be done by decrease exposure, white slider bring down, increase black a little and up the saturation using K brush.
