A LOOK AT THE NEW LEICA Q (TYP 116) TITANIUM GRAY

It is astonishing how quickly falsehoods about Leica equipment, especially new equipment, reaches the internet.  Only a couple of days after the New Leica Q (Typ 116) Titanium Gray was announced, pictures were posted of the camera under the heading that the actual color of the camera was substantially darker than in the official photos from Leica.  That would obviously be quite misleading and something we do not expect Leica to do.  David Farkas from Leica Store Miami just released a short video about the camera.  There it becomes obvious that the titanium gray color of the camera will take on quite a variety of looks, depending on the way light hits the surface, some will definitely appear darker than others.  This makes it obvious that these reports of the camera being darker than in the pictures published by Leica were based on photographs taken by someone without the necessary skills to determine exposure settings that will reveal the actual color of the camera.

A LOOK AT THE NEW LEICA Q (TYP 116) TITANIUM GRAY

By David Farkas, LeicaStore Miami

The new Leica Q (Typ 116)Titanium Gray has just started to ship in the US. We got our hands on one and took the opportunity to do a quick unboxing vide, comparing it to the standard Leica Q (Typ 116) in black. Check out the video below (be sure to make full screen for best experience):


Spec for spec, the Titanium Gray version is identical to the black. Same sensor, same lens, same everything. Both cameras are aluminum, so the titanium color is an applied finish, not actual titanium. That being said, the camera looks fantastic in the titanium gray with contrasting black controls. And the matching corded gray neck strap from Yosemite is super nice. The cosmetics and strap come at a small up-charge of $250, resulting in a final price of $4,495.

If you are interested in the camera, you can pre-order one here from Leica Store Miami: Leica Q (Typ116), Titanium Gray
