Leica Q Silver Chrome camera mockup

A quick update on my previous rumor – the new Leica Q Silver Chrome camera will be announced this week.

The new edition will look very similar to the Leica Q Titanium model pictured above but with silver chrome instead of titanium gray finish/color. Similar to the titanium version, the new Leica Q Silver Chrome edition will be limited and will be produced until March 2018. This also indicates that we should not expect a new Leica Q camera anytime soon.

An updated list of all upcoming/rumored Leica cameras and lenses can be found here.
