The Q7 lets you capture artistic endeavors with the Q-mount’s family of seven specialty lenses including, prime, zoom, wide-angle, fish-eye, and the new mount-shield lens for a dreamy pinhole-camera effect.
The Q7 will cost around $500 with two 5-15 mm zoom lens and can be custom-ordered in any of 120 color combinations. The company will also bring a body-cap ‘Mount Shield’ lens for the Q system – the 11.5mm F9 lens, which will cost around $80.
