As good as Pentax may be at squeezing IQ out of Sony sensors, we can't expect Q lens resolution tests to be anything surprising. It would be more interesting to hear your field report on the Q system and see some images. You mentioned in another thread that you liked it alot on your recent trip, that was more interesting to hear.

Yes, we liked it. However, according to the lens test results we made an error. We should have avoided f/5.6 because that's already the point where diffraction has a drastic impact. f/4 would have been a better idea.
This makes you somehow wonder about those "toy" lenses. Ok, just toys but at 18mm f/8 there is not much quality left actually.
Anyway, if I can find the time (reads: if the NEX7 is delayed) I will post a field report.
