I see some are selling for 2895. and some for 2100. Is it Grey market or ? Thanks

The Leica Q3 is available for pre-order at B&H Photo Video and Adorama

There is currently a discount program, which might account for something..

TY  It does NOT mention the 24-70 just by itself. Only as a kit.  Discounts apply to Prime lenses   TY

I think it being available as a kit lens has lowered its retail sale potential. I have the lens and it’s a wonderful performer, even if it’s a Sigma

I've just swapped from Sigma to Leica for various reasons, looks, superior build quality, handles a bit better on my SL2 but ultimately because I found a nearly mint preowned bargain. At standard retail here in the UK it's Sigma every time, maybe the Leica output is slightly better maybe not, probably just wishful thinking tbh

import item without tax (water goods we say in HK), I got mine for under USD1900 with international warranty. It wasn't from the kit and this is basically no tax with it.
