Moon picture taken with my Pentax Q and Canon EF 300mm + 2x extender (via adapter).
Image is full frame with no cropping at all.
The combo has an equivalent focal length of 3300mm. This gives you a very narrow field of view so, finding the moon was not an easy task + manually getting critical focus with no 10x live view was, to put it mildly, "difficult".
Colour suffers from a bit of posterization in the shadows, which indicates the tiny pixels don't react well to moderate post processing. Still, this was my first attempt with the rig and I am sure with practice I'll get better images.
For comparison this is the full frame I get with the same rig attached to a 1D MKIV
Below the actual rig minus the 2x extender.
