Update: Leica Q2 price in Europe will be €4,790 with VAT included

By LR admin | Published: March 6, 2019


A quick update to my previous post: the EU price of the Leica Q2 will be €4,790 with VAT included (or around $5,500). For comparison, the Leica Q price in Europe is now €4,190 and the Leica Q-P is €4,590. I have to adjust my previous guess – I think the US price of the Q2 will be under $5,500.
