WRT to the Q system - I think it was discontinued in the US market
though residual inventory is still available - B&H has some lenses and
accessories, no new S1 bodies though. I think the system is still
supported in Japan, so it makes sense it would be on the Ricoh Japan site.
On the lens road map from earlier this year there are no new Q mount
lenses yet to be released - the macro lens that was there for some time
has disappeared. My guess is the Q's long term fate is not good. That's
unfortunate because it is a nifty little system.

Well, maybe not follies, however on a recent visit to the
ricoh-imaging web site to download a manual, and being unable to do
that from the North American US site due to construction, I visited
the Japan English site, and did my business there.
I also noticed that the Q line seems to be back as a product. So I
checked the US site, where it isn't but the K-50 is now listed a
current product again. This kind of thing begins to make one wonder,
which particular band of inmates is running which particular asylum.
