jaapv Posted June 16, 2011 Share #2 Posted June 16, 2011 Those are binoculars.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

01af Posted June 16, 2011 Share #5 Posted June 16, 2011 Then he was talking nonsense. But then, so are you. There are neither Leica binoculars nor Leica lenses carrying a "qm2" designation. As far as I can tell, it's just nonsense altogether. Wonder how the original poster came to ask ... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted June 16, 2011 Share #6 Posted June 16, 2011 Because, as you can see by the link, camera resellers advertise these binoculars as such. Why they do so and what it means is something else, and I know that as little as you do. Maybe designation has to do with the number of funnels.

earleygallery Posted June 16, 2011 Share #7 Posted June 16, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Maybe it's a lens for sale on the Queen Mary 2 ? http://cruiseforums.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1320841 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizard Posted June 16, 2011 Share #8 Posted June 16, 2011 Maybe it is meant to indicate the "second", current version of that binocular. As far as I know, this line of binoculars did have the HDC coating from the very beginning, but the Aquadura coating was added only later. Just a guess though. And yes, they go well on the Queen Mary, too. Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Valdemar Posted June 16, 2011 Share #9 Posted June 16, 2011 It's a silly story told to the gullible who shop at the Queen Mary Cruise ship gift shop. If you buy a Hermes bag, a Leica camera, etc., they tell the tourists some nonsense story that they are getting a special "ultra high quality" select of the camera or bag which is only sold to "special" people, such as themselves. It's like when you call a Brooklyn camera store and they tell you that most stores sell a "plastic" frame camera, but they have the best "metal frame" camera for sale at a higher price. So the owners think they have something special called the "QM2" model. They just have an ordinary item, bought at a ridiculous price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still can’t get the Velvet Underground out of my head … “I’m feeling good, feeling so fine / Until tomorrow, but that’s just some other time” – it must be about the post-lens-buy experience, what else?

stunsworth Posted June 16, 2011 Share #15 Posted June 16, 2011 He is a lens dealer. This is like a game of twenty questions. Who was he, where is he, and does he have a website? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

adan Posted June 16, 2011 Share #17 Posted June 16, 2011 The QM2 ocean liner's onboard marketing agreement is with Swarvoski (a Leica competitor), so I doubt the qm2 designation has anything to do with the ship - especially in lower-case letters. according to this site: Verrekijker Show Aanbiedingen "QM2 Leica models are new with full warranty. with possible minor cosmetic defects in the lining of the viewer." i.e. factory seconds Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pico Posted June 16, 2011 Share #19 Posted June 16, 2011 It's a binocular with minor coating defects, or anything else they want to sell with QM2 attached to the name. Could be a Leica camera, Panasonic - whatever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandyfaf Posted June 16, 2011 Share #20 Posted June 16, 2011 Hi there, first post on here but I have just returned from a trip to New York on the QM2 and in the camera shop onboard they had a V-Lux 20 and an X1 for sale. None of them were branded QM2. Oh and none of them tempted me, I'm very happy with my D-Lux 5. Alex. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
