William Cook Posted April 20, 2022 Share #2 Posted April 20, 2022 No actual proof but Leica advertised the green finish as an upgraded, scratch resistant paint. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had my Q2R for about 6 months and no scratches on the green finish. It seems very tough. It also does not have the soft feel of the Q-P – it's rougher and grippier. The lens/aperture ring is another story – the metal is quite brittle and chips easily, but all Q2s are like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJH Posted April 23, 2022 Share #4 Posted April 23, 2022 I use my Q2R a lot (travel, Caribbean, heavy rain, documentary stuff etc) and the finish does seem very durable. Very grippy and more resistant to scratches than my original Q. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue H Posted April 30, 2022 Share #5 Posted April 30, 2022 For anyone who's interested, photo journalist Jan Grarup is using what looks like a reporter edition in Kharkov, Ukraine. You can see photos on his Instagram account. Got to be reasonably tough I reckon.... 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scratched the front protection ring yesterday as well while walking through a doorway. At least that's an easy fix. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pieter575 Posted May 1, 2022 Share #9 Posted May 1, 2022 Here you go. In the right light the scratches disappear, but they're there. Welcome, dear visitor!
