Photographer's code

Pentax Q series interchangeable lens camera is a very personalized product line. Before Panasonic introduced GM 1, it was the smallest interchangeable lens system on the market. However, due to the fact that the largest photosensitive element is only 1/2.3 inches, the endurance is not good, and there has been no news for a long time after the launch of Q-S 1, although there have been reports from overseas media and Ricoh before. However, Hiroshi Tanaka, a Japanese photography critic, recently posted a photo on Twitter, saying that he got a new Q series lens code-named 09 and tried it out.

09 lens is a macro lens with medium and long focal length, which has the characteristics of lightness and high-speed focusing. The focus moves from infinity to macro quite quickly, but Messi Tanaka also stressed that this lens was not obtained from RicohImage officially, but from places outside Japan. However, a sample with a lens does not mean that the product will be launched. Don't forget that after a year of struggle, Nikon completely gave up the original planned one-inch component high-end camera product line DL, and RicohImage recently began to reorganize the product line. The fate of the Q series is still unknown.
