Announced: Leica Q2 “Reporter” and Leica Q2 Monochrom “Reporter” cameras

By LR admin | Published: November 4, 2021

The previously rumored Leica Q2 “Reporter” and Leica Q2 Monochrom “Reporter” cameras are now officially announced – this is why Leica invited a bunch of influencers to Wetzlar. I still have a theory that Leica had planned this event for the M11 a long time ago and then decided to delay the announcement. It is hard for me to believe that all those people were invited to Wetzlar just for a limited edition camera, but I could be wrong.

The Leica Q2 Reporter will be available from December 9, 2021 at a price of €5,550. The Leica Q2 Monochrom Reporter will be released in March 2022 – only 350 pieces will be produced (priced at € 5,950).

Here are the details on the new Leica Q2 “Reporter” and Leica Q2 Monochrom “Reporter” cameras:

By LR admin | Published: November 3, 2021

Leica has invited many photographers, influencers, journalists, and Leica fans at Wetzlar for what I assume is a new product presentation/announcement. The first thing that comes to mind is Leica M11 on 11/11/2021, but I was told that the M11 announcement was delayed, or is it?

Update – the upcoming event in Wetzlar could be related to the Leica Oskar Barnack Award 2021 (award ceremony):

Try your luck: lottery to buy one of the thirty brand new Epson R-D1s digital rangefinder cameras with Leica M-mount for $17 (Japan only)

By LR admin | Published: November 3, 2021

Epson found thirty brand new Epson R-D1s digital rangefinder cameras with Leica M-mount while organizing one of their warehouses. After refurbishing the cameras, Epson decided to sell them for… $17.54 each (tax included). The bad news is that this offer is valid only for 30 residents of Japan who already owned an R-D1 series camera in the past. Additional information can be found on this page.
