Thank you for showing us this camera. I would not buy one but I am glad it exists. Thank you also for not saturating your videos with music. I like music but it shouldn't be everywhere. BTW, vanilla should never be associated with plainness. Vanilla is a delicious flavour. It is not, as some imply, the lack of flavour.
Not even gonna lie. I watched your review about the Bape Dlux 7 bc I was thinking of purchasing a point and shoot, when both my Sony and Fuji broke. And then watching more Leica videos from you and now I’m aiming to purchase a LEICA Q2. GREAT VIDEO REVIEW, CAMERA TESTING, and ACCESSORY REVIEWS TOO! Can’t wait to get this, only thing I’m thinking now is if a Q3 comes out any time soon. Lol
I think it would be better to have a design that Bond would actually use, but not one that says "007" all over it. The tie-in with Globe-Trotter is good, as could have been something like Billingham. For instance, the Omega watch Bond wears in the movie can be bought from Omega. It does say "007" but only underneath, where nobody will ever see it. I think the Danlel Craig / Greg Williams version hit the mark a bit better.
You are absolutely right, it is just a gadget… Not for me, I’m more interested on what the camera can do instead of how it looks (I’ll continue with Fuji…).
Leica could have put a little bit more effort on the camera design for this 007 edition, the suitcase and grip are great but the camera has a different lens cap, skin and engraving, that's all
It is just a bit sad that a brand like this has to create value, especially with such a great product. The saddest part of this one was that it said that 'they are all numbered, so they are collectible' on the website.
I think Leica needs to reconsider whether collectors silliness is adding or taking away from the legendary brand. It’s embarrassing to me as a Leica photographer that Leica continues to promote these silly gimmicks. I would be embarrassed in the real world to sport this camera. 😳
This is not catered to you, me or any regular Leica shooter. This is for folks that got enough cash to splurge and make it a statement piece.I understand your point of view tho
"Null Null Sieben" or "Double-O Seven" in English. No "O O Seven". My guess is you're German and never watched a Bond movie in English (besides that I hear a slight German accent). Just saying... Cheers from Indonesia!
@@mathphotographer That’s great! Watching your videos over the last few weeks inspired me and I decided to pay the extra and acquire a Leica, my Q2 should be here tomorrow🙂
The price in Singapore is SGD 11,699. The regular Q2 is SGD 8,200. I think if they added the 007 elements to the startup sequence animation, that would make it nicer.
Many thanks for this presentation I think I might want one ! Great getting all the toys in one box. Do you think if I drop a line to my old friend Corrina at Leica she might be able to procure one for me ?
@@mathphotographer I dropped a line to Corrina Stahl who is an old friend of mine ever since I had my custom Leica made back in 2007. It is a brass body black paint in red leather with matching red leather case which i went to Germany to collect and found myself on the main German news channel that evening. It was the same year that the M8 was launched as Leica/Corrina invited me to continue my holiday and go to the launch in Cologne. Anyway, I digress Corrina got back to me to tell me that the 250 went immediately and she could not get me a set. Oh well next time. Best regards Neil
Many Congratulations. You finally learnt not to destroy the outer box! Remember your video with the CL unboxing? I am a photographer who happens to get enjoyment by taking photos with different camera systems including Leica. I do enjoy watching your videos. They do gvie me much pleasure in seeing how a Leica collector enjoying his gear. That lovely Globe Trotter is definitely a big contrast to my secondhand army surplus bread bag I use to carry my Leica gear, albeit also made in England. Keep up your good work and keep buying!! Don't forget to get that pair of 007 shoes by Crockett and Jones as well. Suit You, Sir!
I have one request, are you able Do some indeep video of zone focusing on Q2? I don’t know what I’m doing wrong but I’m finding bit different outcomes than on M ?
I really enjoyed watching the unboxing of this limited edition Q2. Thanks Math for this great presentation. Let's raise a glass, but make sure it's shaken and not stirred. :)
I have mixed feelings about whether or not all this prestige branding is helping or hurting Leica, frankly. On the one hand, it strikes me as a bit cheesy and I think Leica should stand on their own history and on the merits of their product. At the same time, they seem to have successfully rebranded themselves in the luxury / fashion space, and Omega has been doing 007 Seamasters, so...ok, I guess. I dunno.
You didn’t tell us the cost? Or is it a secret? James Bond will hunt you down if you tell? I would have thought Leica would made 00700 units and not 250.
each to their own, but must be fun to those that own and can afford one. Some people pay three times that much on cigarettes or other enjoyments in a lifetime!

whoever that got number 007/250 is super duper lucky LOL
probably gets auctioned in future by the james bond foundation :D
...and likely missing a kidney!!!
mvp :D
Thanks a lot for great video. Im so happy and honored, that my picture is on the cover of the brochure
and what a lovely image it is, congrats.
#132 made it to me in Cincinnati via Seattle. Very well done.
Congrats!

I had to laugh a couple of times about the mentioned differences :)
:)
Basically no differences 😂
007 Graphice at startup would be great option.

Very nice. I have the original Leica Q. I love the 28mm focal length and a macro capability. I think Leica Q Monochrom will be my future purchase.
The Q2 Mono is excellent!
The colour of this special edition is really great
indeed

This video actually made me happy that I got the Daniel Craig x Greg Williams one. I agree. Subtle is better.
you sound like one of the James Bond villains! unique camera and well done for getting one.
Now get the 007 Omega James Bond Watch. Would be cool.
indeed
@@mathphotographer Don' forget the shoes by Crokett and Jones
You are absolutely right, it is just a gadget… Not for me, I’m more interested on what the camera can do instead of how it looks (I’ll continue with Fuji…).
Ha! :) purist view and absolutely ok :)
Leica could have put a little bit more effort on the camera design for this 007 edition, the suitcase and grip are great but the camera has a different lens cap, skin and engraving, that's all
I am waiting for the $ 180,000. "Goldfinger" edition !! ;-)
Do you like this 007 version more than the James Bond Greg Williams version?
Enjoyed the video, however... nobody says o o 7... it's double o 7.
Welche Display Schutzfolien verwendest Du? Habe versucht, das irgendwo zu finden, aber war da erfolglos. Danke für die Info.

I think it’s ok. To use, get the regular Q2. Cheaper and a fabulous camera. To collect get the special editions.
@@sgroadie6367 All my cameras are numbered; just with a few more digits.
maybe you can tell me why the iso is limited to the exposure..
All about the luxury, not the image quality.

Hey, do you have plans to talk about the Leica S system? Do you think they will follow fuji and go mirrorless soon?
Your watch collection must worth more than camera collection:)

Cheers back :)
Did you get the Daniel Crig version of q2,that is what I got
When Math posts, I click👍
You made my day, many thanks!
@@mathphotographer That’s great! Watching your videos over the last few weeks inspired me and I decided to pay the extra and acquire a Leica, my Q2 should be here tomorrow🙂
What a silly use of money. Get a regular q2 and give the rest to charity would be another approach, a better approach.
So fun! How do you get these limited cameras and lenses so fast? Obviously you are great customer, but wow, so fast! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Jeff - excellent connections to Leica Switzerland do the trick :)
@@mathphotographer I guess money talks.
The price in Singapore is SGD 11,699. The regular Q2 is SGD 8,200. I think if they added the 007 elements to the startup sequence animation, that would make it nicer.

Ha! Thanks for that comment, like it a lot :) Clearly I remember that you hated the outer box being wasted :) No more wasted boxes in 2022 :)
I have one request, are you able
Do some indeep video of zone focusing on Q2? I don’t know what I’m doing wrong but I’m finding bit different outcomes than on M ?
Will look into it, thx for proposing.
I hope I can get one in the USA. Mat all you need now I the matching Land Rover James Bond Limited edition Defender....
Lol yes :)
@@mathphotographer Mat, I got lucky, My Q2 007 just showed up today. Absolutely love it and to me worth every penny
I really enjoyed watching the unboxing of this limited edition Q2. Thanks Math for this great presentation. Let's raise a glass, but make sure it's shaken and not stirred. :)
Nice comment Lucy! Take care 🙏
Is it really a reason to buy Leica?
veri naaais
I like Lieca as a brand but this is just cheesy naff marketing
This is Q special.
Wouldn’t it be nice if its 28 mm lens is also color-matched with the body like the M10-P Safari?

It clearly helps Leica, the 250 units will be (or are already) sold-out in no time :)
So basically Leica is helping to sell 250 suitcases
I am jealous of you😱
No need to be jealous my friend
Interesting to see, that Mr. Bond switched from the Olympus OM-4 Ti to the Leica Q2. Did Q-Branch comment on the reasons?
Try to bring it back in one piece.
Makes it even more of a toy for rich people.
You didn’t tell us the cost? Or is it a secret? James Bond will hunt you down if you tell? I would have thought Leica would made 00700 units and not 250.
In Singapore the retail is SGD 11,690. The regular Q2 is SGD 8,200.
Around USD 8k
Entsetzlich gefilmt! Wenn schon, dann ein bisschen professioneller!
in the huawei's phone use LEICA is that means huawei use LEICA camera? can anyone explain😅'
The lenses in these phones are Leica
Kein Schweizer Messer? :-)
Ha! You caught me :)
И сколько это счастье стоит ?
I do not know how much does in cost, but I would have no interest to buy one.
Another overpriced, under-featured Leica trophy camera in seaweed green! At last our prayers have been answered!
Ridiculous
each to their own, but must be fun to those that own and can afford one. Some people pay three times that much on cigarettes or other enjoyments in a lifetime!
And if it's unpacked it looses it's value collectors value, a camera for non photographers 🤣
:) actually, not at all. You will see, this product will be (or is already) sold-out in no time :)
Sigh, another Leica special edition. Sorry, but this is just Leica finding reasons to fleece customers.
