Quote:⦠So here's a few more points about the Q. As for what the Q stands for, I'll bet you've never heard this before: The original Pentax bayonet lens mount, the venerable K-mount, was called "K" because it was supposed to stand for for "king." As in, king of the lensmounts. â¦The cameras are tiny, and a couple of the lenses include the word "toy" in their description. It looks like a fun idea â even though it might take a while to reach North America or Europe.
