    Got the same mail. Looks like the whole thing with these lenses is a scam. Will probably happen again in another few months.

    At least one person has posted they got theirs and a few others have shipping confirmations so looks to be an error that was honoured in some part.

    I don't think it's a scam, just a pricing error. I ordered 4 lenses, 1 has arrived and 2 are on the way (confirmed dispatched). Unfortunately the one I really wanted, the 24mm, just got cancelled with a similar email to the ones above, still three out of four is not bad considering I had no expectation of receiving anything.

    Is the one you got a Canon fit? the text on the site wasn't 100% clear what with the Pentax adapter and that.

    Exact same as you Pete67.

    I really wanted the 24mm but I can't really complain as I wasn't expecting anything.

    AS far as I can see they are all Canon EF mount lenses (without the electronics) and are supplied with an adaptor to allow use with Pentax Q. The adapter I got was this one

    Cheers, just wanted to check.

    Looks like the adapter is worth what you paid for the lens! Probably not too many Pentax Q users around if you wanted to sell it.

    Thanks again OP.

    Three out of the four lenses received. I'm a happy man.

    If I ever have the pleasure to meet you then I'll buy you a pint (or three) :D

    Damn. Looks like the 24mm was the only one that wasn't delivered. At least a few heads on here got a great deal in any case.
