The main things the Q will give you are autofocus and a good macro capability. Are these important to you?

Do you use the 35mm much at all? If the guy is a friend, how about swapping for a week or so and seeing if you like the Q?

Sorry these are all questions rather than answers!

Street price sounds similar if my understanding is correct but the value of V1 might stay longer.

Besides, there's a lot of gossip about the Q3 coming up soon?

I had the Q in 2018 for 3 months.. and I loved it. But sold it after getting the M10 .. now it sounds like getting Q is a good idea as a back up camera ..
