Leica is doubling-down on its James Bond-themed Q2 cameras. Coming shortly after the leaked
No Time to Die version, this new Q2 is the collaborative effort between Leica and Leica users Daniel Craig and Greg Williams — Williams, the official photographer to the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, was also the photographer on set for both
Casino Royale and
Quantum of Solace.
Limited to 750 units, this special edition camera features a full black body with knurling at the front and is accented with gold details. Both the Daniel Craig and Greg Williams’ names can be found at the bottom of the screen. There’s no word yet on pricing or a release date, so stay tuned for further details.
Also on the subject of using your hands was Calgary contributor Greg Williams’ inspiring and spirit-lifting column entitled “Tinkering through self-isolation,” a first-person account of his escape into his garage to resurrect, in his words, “a Triumph rigid-frame machine that is being built the hard way — from a pile of parts that weren’t ever originally together.”
The accompanying photo, of Greg sitting in his wheelchair beside one of his old motorcycles, really resonated with me. Not because I didn’t know he was a paraplegic – I’ve known the story about the aftermath of his bike wreck since it happened 15 years ago – but because of his indomitable spirit under COVID-19 restrictions and how his column underscored that working on and fixing old machines is great for the soul.
