Q was a class of nikon lenses in.. ugh.. 60s? (gurus, correct me?), but the rumor is that it is making its way back to the market.

Do I smell a subtle marketing ploy?

Very early non-AI Nikkor lenses sometimes had a letter designation to indicate the number of elements in the lens. "Q", in that instance, would indicate a "quad" or 4-element design.

Do not try to mount a non-AI lens on most modern Nikon cameras as it can cause damage to the camera.

Step out from behind the lens Ziggy, experience the modern pop culture that came after the Darkroom Ages.

Watching all you guys explain Nikons' archaic lens designations was pretty funny though very informative. Thanks for the lesson!
