WhoaThere Posted January 7, 2018 Share #1 Posted January 7, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) I'm a week away from pulling the trigger on a Leica Q but stuck between silver vs. black. For those who have the black but found out the silver is out now, any desire to have the silver instead? I do general family and landscape photography, no street. Price difference is not a concern. I like the classic look of the silver but the black is calling out to me. Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted January 7, 2018 Share #2 Posted January 7, 2018 Completely and totally a matter of taste... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luigi bertolotti Posted January 7, 2018 Share #3 Posted January 7, 2018 If you are uncertain... take the black... Silvers are mainly for single-minded / hard-nosed people like me , for whom "Silver Mandatory" is the rule (for instance I admit that the new CL is intriguing for me... but, at the moment, there is a missing detail to make me consdier to have one... ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belle123 Posted January 7, 2018 Share #4 Posted January 7, 2018 For me, Black it has to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wda Posted January 7, 2018 Share #5 Posted January 7, 2018 If you are likely to be persuaded by other people, just toss a coin. Or go for the one you always favoured. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy8269 Posted January 7, 2018 Share #6 Posted January 7, 2018 Silver looks really nice. However, I purchased Black and no regret Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacedout Posted January 7, 2018 Share #8 Posted January 7, 2018 What about finish durability? I bought a silver last month because it looks richer to me, but also because it’s described as an anodized finish. I’ve seen black Leica’s that have had the “paint” worn away on the edges, exposing the base metal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leica Guy Posted January 7, 2018 Share #10 Posted January 7, 2018 That’s called patina or real characterf The only place that’s happened on my Q is with the Thumbs Up. I love it. A well cared for soldier that I use a lot. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted January 8, 2018 Share #11 Posted January 8, 2018 Personal taste and availability at the time you want it would seem to be all that maters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
earleygallery Posted January 8, 2018 Share #12 Posted January 8, 2018 I do general family and landscape photography, no street. In that case I would choose silver. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flu Posted January 8, 2018 Share #13 Posted January 8, 2018 Both are beautiful! I've had the black since release and had no intentions of trading colors. Awhile back, I saw the titanium one and for me, the black was still more handsome. So, when the new silver came out, I thought I'd have the same feelings about it and still stick with the black. However, seeing the silver in person changed my mind. It's gorgeous and makes a statement! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
