Looking for your thoughts on the Q-P (or the Q1) still worth the investment?

Good afternoon everyone,

I wonder if you could give me some thoughts here. 

I have a trip with my wife to Korea and Japan (or Korea and Vietnam, depending on the Covid situation) early next year. I was planning to take both my M8 and M9P with the 21mm f4 and 35mm f2 lenses, so I was thinking in getting a new Voigtlander 28mm f2 "vintage line" for my M9-P. Thanks to my iPhone that has thousands of images taken, I am now very fond of the 24-28mm FoV and I think will be great for my adventure. 

Then, a friend of a friend offered me his like new Q-P with every original accessories for a little less of half the cost a new Q2, no need to pay extra taxes or fees. -I believe this forum won't allow us to put specific amounts- but you get the idea. I been always interested in the Q, so I think this might be a rare chance to get my hands on a great camera to paired with my M9-P and the 35mm. The images are superb, so how do you still like yours?

Your comments will be very appreciate. Thank you and happy weekend

Ricardo

The Q-P is a fantastic camera and still very relevant today. If you don’t need high megapixels or weather sealing then there is no need to look at the Q2.
