Hopefully I will be in a different trash bin than your aramid shavings...they might be toxic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a Hercule Poirot murder mystery. Inspector Japp, I fear the Aramid Killer may strike again and soon if we do not find his Leica! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

liggy Posted September 23, 2023 Share #86 Posted September 23, 2023 I'm just kind of bummed my kevlar *cough* aramid fiber hasn't appreciably faded. Never had a case - decent amount of UV exposure and gets out of the house pretty regularly. Not much fraying either. What little had occurred - I was able to just nudge it a bit with a fingernail back into place without actually trimming the fibers. Maybe it knows I'm not a Reporter.

LocalHero1953 Posted September 24, 2023 Share #87 Posted September 24, 2023 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Between my post of 2 Jan and now my 18 month old Q2 Reporter fibre has started to fade where the fingers grip - a pale green-blue. No other deterioration, and it remains an excellent grippy material. Edited September 24, 2023 by LocalHero1953 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want my nice overall patina. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil1066 Posted September 25, 2023 Share #89 Posted September 25, 2023 Worth noting too that the green paintwork doesn’t show obvious handling signs like my standard Q2 used to. I was always wiping that down as the finger marks etc just showed so easily 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, it *looks* rugged, lol! I just read the marketing page on Leica.com They are 100% saying this camera is more durable than a regular Q2. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
