Has that changed or been delayed?  On the item page it shows "No sales tax collected in CA". when I go through the check out process no tax is added.  Are they reporting to the states in  another manner  maybe so they can get you a tax time?

Recently, I received a form letter from BH Photo saying they now provide customer names and the taxable amount spent with BH to the Washington State Department of Revenue. I was given the choice of either paying the sales tax to the state voluntarily by a deadline that expired the day before I received the letter or I could expect to be audited and fined by the state. 

BH may have some legal obligation to provide such info to Washington. If so, BH also had an obligation to disclose this fact to purchasers up-front—at the time of purchase. It will be a long time before I do business at BH again.

If you are ordering from BH and not paying sales tax.up-front, I would ask if they plan to rat you out, too.

Heard in US that Q2 supply is limited due to manufacturing/quality assurance issues. Early Q2’s Will need firmware update so probably worth waiting for early problems to be resolved.

Unlikely that normal Q2 supplies until late 2019/2020

Sounds like an unfounded rumour to me - All Leica models up to now have had supply problems initially. A small factory cannot invest for high initial demand, and hand-assembly cannot be ramped up and down.

Anyone in the UK got their Q2 recently? I've had an order in since March but they are still saying 2 to 3 months for delivery.

I ordered in the UK on the 8th March and was 4th in the list with my local Leica dealer. They rang me last week (28/4)   to say they had a single Q2 arriving and it was mine if I still wanted it.  Seems they are starting to come through but only in very small numbers. 

 

Not it had much time to play yet but from my short experience it’s worth a wait.

Got my Q2 today from Adorama. Turned it on. Low and behold... a big piece of dirt inside the viewfinder..... 

 

awesome 

Mine has the same problem in the lower lefthand corner of the viewfinder. Doesn't really block the image, and I figured it would be a loooong time for repair right now, so holding off to send it in.

That sucks!  One would think that QC at Leica would pick up on such an obvious defect.  With all the weather sealing they talk about it must have been during assembly.  So sorry for you.

Just picked up my Q2 from the Leica store here in LA, and cancelled my B&H order. Hope that helps someone else on the list. According to the staff at the store, Wetzlar can produce 60 Q2s a day, so I wouldn’t expect any massive shipments to the bigger retailers any time soon. 

Also picked up a spare battery. Those seem to be coming in a little more quickly now.

I wonder how many duplicated orders are there around the world. It seems a lot of people have placed orders from multiple vendors . 

I'll  be visiting Leitz Park  towards the end of this month. Just want to try my luck to see if a Q2 is available. Keep my finger 🤞
