Got mine from park cameras Camera + standard lens 8.5mm with a toy 100mm thrown in the deal for £250. Shows as out of stock but, I was in no hurry and so, I placed the order yesterday. To my surprise, the camera was home today. Brilliant service. 
**Edit**
Just looked to put the link in and it has gone up in price. It is £300 for the bundle now. Seems I bought at the right time.

I had one and thought it was great fun especially with the prime kit lens. I really enjoyed shooting jpegs and using the creative filters.
Image quality was surprisingly good and the tiny size meant it was always with me to use when an opportunity arose. I think, had the original price been lower they would have sold bucket loads of them

Did you use it with Canon or other DSLR lenses? If so, how did it perform?
I am planning to attach my 600mm with stacked extenders 2x & 1.4x. That will give me an equivalent focal length of 9240mm. That's like having a 9 meter telescope
I recon I could take a shot of Jupiter and actually see some detail there.

Waiting for the adaptor 
seller sent it yesterday but, on a snail paced 5 business day postage. Of course, once it arrives, some clear night sky will be nice... But, I am not holding my breath for it :thumbsdown:
FWIW I am just as curious as you are

Got the adaptor today .
Now the long wait for my 600mm II and good weather.
For now I've attached it to my 300mm II
Below the bestie.
With a crop factor of 5.5x, when attached to the Pentax Q, that 300mm lens has an equivalent focal length of 1650 f/2.8

Ok First picture taken with the Pentax Q + EF 300mm f/2.8L IS II + EF 2X Extender MKIII
Taken a few minutes ago RAW image processed with PS5
Please note the image above is full frame no crop whatsoever...
The combo gives you a very narrow field of view so, finding the moon (OOF may I add) was not an easy task. Once I found it, getting critical focus was, to put it mildly, "difficult". Still, I am very happy with this first attempt. I am sure with practice I'll get better images.
