Advertisement Posted December 11, 2021 Posted December 11, 2021 Hi hdmesa, Take a look here Now available: Leica Q2 Reporter - Ultra-robust product variant with Kevlar armour. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
tom0511 Posted December 12, 2021 Share #22 Posted December 12, 2021 is this the original strap? I suppose no? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately the included strap is the same black strap from the regular Q2. The strap in the photo is the same one pictured in the Leica promo photos for the M10 Reporter. It's the Leica Paracord Strap by COOPH in the black color. I have the green version as well – it's not an exact match to the green of the camera, but it compliments it ok. Mine is the longer 126cm version, which is perfect for me for cross-body carry (6' tall, long torso). This is one of the best straps I've ever used for being able to rapidly lift and shift from cross-body to having the camera up to my eye and back down without it getting caught up on my clothes. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A distinct military appearance. Could easily be 'service' issue, providing they had a budget. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine looks a darker green and not look at all like that colour - maybe it's the colour temperature of the photograph. The Kevlar material covering is very good to hold. The Reporter is a beautiful camera and the finish is perhaps difficult to accurately reproduce in a photograph. Haven't decided on a strap yet. The Harry Benz Safari might be a good choice. I really like Harry Benz straps! https://www.harrybenz.com/shop/the-safari 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ko.Fe. Posted December 20, 2021 Share #27 Posted December 20, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) Can’t recall any reporters with army green cameras. It would make more sense for wildlife photography via interchangeable tele lenses bodies. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to shoot it with something other than an iPhone. It does brighten up considerably in direct sunlight, though. I have two different tones/editions of Angelo Pelle camo straps that I hadn't thought about trying. I'll post some photos tomorrow in daylight.

hdmesa Posted December 21, 2021 Share #30 Posted December 21, 2021 Angelo Pelle cases and straps in complimentary colors. I still prefer the black COOPH Paracord strap over these.

liggy Posted December 31, 2021 Share #31 Posted December 31, 2021 You guys are killing me here. Mine was supposed to be here on the 26th. Fedex still shows as "pending". They won't allow it to be changed to "hold for pickup" Grrr... Seriously first world problem but I'm looking forward to this new toy. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FedEx has told me in the past if it's been pending for several days, it may mean the package is lost, and while they submit a request for an investigation, I needed to let the merchant know.

marchyman Posted January 4, 2022 Share #38 Posted January 4, 2022 FedEx comment: I've had some luck getting FedEx off their butts by asking snarky questions directed at FedEx on twitter. An account called FedExHelp would then send me a direct message asking some questions about the delivery. I don't know what they do, but on two occasions "lost" or otherwise undelivered items showed up shortly after my complaints. Perhaps coincidence. Perhaps not. Good luck getting your package. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gets even better. FedEx claims that the shipper requested a "return to shipper" instead of "hold for pickup" and now they are saying two different things. One is that it'll be delivered today to Popflash. The FedEx website still says it's coming to me. WTF?!? 2 hours ago, SrMi said: I was lucky.

Thanks - I posted a snarky comment on their FB page a couple of hours ago. To their credit: Someone reached out to me very quickly. Flip side: They don't know sh1t. And they promised a "senior manager" would contact me which surprisingly hasn't happened yet. Sigh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FedEx claims that the shipper requested a "return to shipper" instead of "hold for pickup" ... I've been told that before, and it freaked me out. Package still got delivered. It was some sort of misunderstanding at what I think was an overseas call center about what "return to shipper" noted on an item means. I think it's a default preference for the shipper's account in case the item can't be delivered. Since your initial deliver date was supposed to be 12/26, the package is clearly lost. You need to ask Popflash to file a claim with the shipper and refund your purchase. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
