Both Craig and Williams have a common passion for photography and are both avid fans of Leica, making this a seamless collaboration. Regarding the limited-edition creation, Daniel Craig stated, “The Leica Q2 is, for me, the perfect camera and needs no improvement. So, to have the chance to work with the amazing people at Leica and my friend, Greg Williams, to create something as unique as this, has been a privilege and an honor.”

Daniel takes beautiful photos and has a great eye. The Leica Q2 is an extension of me – you never see me without one around my neck, so to work with Daniel and the team at Leica on this limited-edition has been very special.”
