Mark, since the Q doesn't allow changing lenses it isn't useful to me.  Neither is it useful to those who want to use their Leica rangefinder lenses on a digital camera.  Sony's a7-series cameras are one of several ways (including one of the several digital Leica M bodies) one might use rangefinder lenses; the Nikons you frequently praise on this list are not.

As I have mentioned on a few other forums a Q with interchangeable lenses and an adapter to use R lenses would open my checkbook.  As I figure it using my lenses on a 'piece of junk' that I can afford to purchase and maintain beats not using them.  

How are you using your M lenses?
