There is a new special edition Q2, resplendent in a beautiful gray finish. 

Let the jousting begin. 😁

Leica bring back  "a la carte" program so that we can design a few more versions of the Q2.

we have 6 versions...

I think it is the push before the Q3

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

Very pretty.  Wish it was the Q2M though.

Not sure why people care about more expensive special editions

This limited to 2000 pieces special edition Q2 is merely an indicator that the end of the Q2 line is coming and that the Q3 announcement is imminent. And not just one.

I think this is a really beautiful camera… I’ll see what the Q3 looks like but might come back to this one.

I think they should release a nardo gray edition.

This and the 007 Daniel Craig black-and-gold (not the green one) must be the most beautiful Q cameras made so far. Let's see if Q3 brings black paint.

Lovely camera and paint scheme - I wish that they would put out versions of this for everyone and not just limited edition. I enjoyed my Q2 but I just couldn't tolerate the high ISO performance.

These special editions are fun to see introduced, the varied reactions not dissimilar from model to model.  I was reading reactions from publications 80+ years ago and they were same as today, love, hate, Leica is ……..

The surprising aspect I’ve had a few times is the difficulty judging like or dislike of these special issues until visiting a store.  Cameras that appear meh online often look good in store.  
 

In the end I buy black bodies and lenses with an occasional chrome lens but I’m really happy to see Leica thrive and introduce fun variations.

There are in fact TWO special editions here - one is regular GHOST, the other is GHOST "SET" limited to 150 pieces and apparently only available through their website. The engraving and thumb rest (above) are only part of that "set", at a small premium.

They seem to be all gone. Three days? 

Ah well, I wanted a monochrom reporter anyways.

I confess to not liking the looks of this one bit, but then I cannot remember a limited edition of any camera I have preferred over the "original" The colour scheme of the Q2 reporter also leaves me cold. A man of limited taste perhaps.

Count me in. I think the Q2M

is the most beautiful camera I have ever seen. Sadly I couldn’t live with a monochrome camera. The normal Q2 looks good as well but something about the stealthy-ness (is that a word?) of the Q2M speaks to me…

I can't believe Leica made a dedicated Thumb Support for this special edition but not for the Q2M.
