Advertisement Posted April 3, 2019 Posted April 3, 2019 Hi ricky1981, Take a look here Availability of the Q2. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!

I received mine yesterday, April 2. They've been good and frank in their correspondence with me. They've only been getting "a couple at a time" and have only a day or two of notification before they arrive. (Dale has been a good Leica dealer of mine for years, and consequently my go-to source for Leica products.) BTW, extra batteries for the Q2 are also extremely scarce (and expensive!!) right now. (I think it's the same battery used by the SL?) So if you're waiting for a Q2 you might also want to begin shopping for an extra BP-SCL4 battery if you don't have one yet. Good Advice. When i was waiting for my Nikon D850 i did exactly the same thing... I purchased extra batteries, XQD cards and everything i thought that all the shops might run out of when the Body started into the shops... I think i saw the Battery for the Q2 is $250... Ouch.. What i am doing is Liquidating my Sony Rx100V and the accessories to get me started on the accessories for the Q2... It will get me started... You're right Ken... 3 days ago they were everywhere... Q2 batteries, chargers are all on BO..... Good luck to all! Edited April 4, 2019 by Giguchan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikasmg Posted April 4, 2019 Share #203 Posted April 4, 2019 (edited) For the last few weeks I’ve been hoping Josh at Leica Store Miami will find my name has at last risen up the list so I can get the next Q2. Then two days ago a dealer I know in Singapore messaged me to ask if I’d be interested in the single Q2 he had in store. I’m now on the direct flight from Newark to Singapore (no, I happily I was scheduled to return today anyway). He has promised to hand deliver it to my home before I get there 🙂 Edited April 4, 2019 by vikasmg 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still waiting ... pre-ordered with B&H on March 13, was told to expect it at the end of March, and now they tell me there's no ETA. I'm #8 on a list at a NH camera shop, and they were expecting a shipment of 8 at the end of March ... still hasn't arrived. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Later, jet lagged, just past 2:00am I was messing with the camera in a dimly lit room and accidentally fired a shot at ISO 12500. Surprisingly usage I think, though I did move the noise reduction slider to 30. Delighted with the camera but more exploration must wait till I'm more awake. Welcome, dear visitor!

If they really are shutting down, there must be some other major, unexpected problem... I sit corrected. Leica for some reason needs a physical inventory... go figure! they have 2 more weeks down....

Oh, did someone confirm that with you? I was really hoping that they'd still be shipping some out despite being closed for 3 weeks due to fiscal close period...dang 2 weeks+ will be a hard wait Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

travelfotographer Posted April 7, 2019 Share #215 Posted April 7, 2019 (edited) I am in Portland and met that rep yesterday. Small world. I got super lucky. Ordered from B&H. Got super frustrated and ended up getting the call from Glazers that they had one. They called me on Friday 3/29 and it was in my hands Monday 4/1. Canceled B&H. Something with B&H seemed off. Around mid-March Customer Sevice there told me there were over 100 people on the list. And they kept postponing, and then had no info. Meanwhile the online ads imply they have it and to get it expedited shipping. It is a deceiving.

I told her that since I had already played with a Q2 I only had one question... “Did you bring enough for everybody?” That got a laugh! I’m on Pro Photo’s list, but she estimated that they’d receive one unit every three weeks! She also said that Leica Stores and the large retailers don’t receive preferential treatment for distributions...

rextilleon Posted April 7, 2019 Share #217 Posted April 7, 2019 I'm thinking of ordering one, but I have a funny feeling it will be months before my name reaches the top of a list. I guess this is one of the advantages of being an early adopter. This would be my first Leica. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
willteeyang Posted April 9, 2019 Share #218 Posted April 9, 2019 i wonder how accurate this link is. if its correct, looks like next shipment is May 2nd? that seems so far away. Unless the rumor is true that Leica is halting production for 3 weeks in April. https://www.gearinstock.com/leica-q2-19050-pre-order-in-stock-availability-tracker/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toutsuite Posted April 9, 2019 Share #219 Posted April 9, 2019 That seems to be Crutchfield’s projection. I’m not sure how they would know if B&H doesn’t. I spoke with a sales rep at Samy’s here in LA today (another list I’m on). In her experience, this kind of roll-out, or lack there of, isn’t unusual for Leica. Her interpretation is after the initial release, they judge public reception before ramping production up fully. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredus Posted April 9, 2019 Share #220 Posted April 9, 2019 Finally placed an order yesterday on B&H. I will update this thread if I hear any news. I've funded the new camera by selling a large stock of expired film from 2002/2005. I knew they would come handy at some point I will wait patiently while using my M10, Fuji X100F and Fuji XT3. I think I should be done for a while ... Or not Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
