This Rare Leica Was Their Best Street Photography Camera - It is Also Has One Typical Leica Issue

The #Leica Q titanium was a limited edition Leica that was exactly the same as the standard Leica Q. But as it turns out it was nothing special except for the look. I take a long look at one of the best travel, family, and street photography tools ever made. Leica purposely left enough ambiguity in the marketing to mask the fact that it was not in-fact made of titanium and was simply a coat of gray paint. This camera is peak Leica, but also peak Leica BS.

Don't sell it. If you sold one before, and bought it again, you're gonna buy it again.

[@oh_aces]

Yeah. I'm afraid that's gonna happen again, but then it'll be even cheaper. I need to move on from this and my Leica T because I honestly just need the money back. 😅

[@HeathHolden]

I had the original Q and absolutely love it, it dramatically changed my way of photographing. Keep it 🙏🏼

[@oh_aces]

Yeah. The fixed lens, even though it has a digital crop, and the speed at which you can operate everything is hard to beat. It really does become second nature after a little while. Plus it's just so beautiful you WANT to use it.

[@HanDekker]

buy an Audi, in gunmetal grey.. it does mean the color, not the material.. you bought a black camera in titanium grey.

[@NineVoltDigitalCinema]

Beautiful. I had the Q2 Monochrom, sold it earlier this year. I don’t exactly miss it, but I definitely miss the output. I couldn’t justify having an M, SL, and Q, but perhaps I was wrong? I love the calmness of your videos. Leica ASMR almost. 📷🤫

[@oh_aces]

Thanks! If you've got the time and the dime, get the film bodies too!

[@throughmyeyes9940]

don't buy things you can't afford to use the heck out of, it's the photos which matter

[@HanDekker]

Leica's are always overpriced. always. Buy a FUJI !!!!!!

[@youngum78]

then he'd have to shoot a fuji instead of a Leica.

[@oh_aces]

I also own a Fuji. Fuji is a gateway drug to Leica. I still have my XE1 and I think it's great to this day! Maybe a video is in order?

[@pdk]

X-E1, X-E4, X-Pro3, X100F, X100V (x2), X-T4, X-E3. Had them all. Only one left is the X-T4 cuz it looks pretty ugly, so holding on the shelf as backup. Oh, and soooo many lenses. But I'm keeping my Q2. Would have saved a lot of money if i just bought the leica first.

[@oh_aces]

@@pdk I have owned the T2, T3, H1, XE2, XE3, as well as the Pro1 and 2. I loved them all, but the XT2 had some weird magic that I miss to this day. I cant see myself letting go of the XE1 even while owning the Q because it was only $100, and there is something special about Provia and Astia.
