Premium camera maker Leica has announced the release of the Q2 '007 Edition' camera, a special edition model designed to celebrate the release of MGM's forthcoming James Bond film 'No Time To Die.'
The new Q2 model features a blacked-out body paired with a dark green leather body wrap. Etched into the top of the deck cap is the iconic '007 Logo.' A standout feature, however, is the camera's custom lens cap and shutter, which aims to replicate the classic gun barrel emblem played at the start of every Bond film.
Every unit will contain its own numbering and will be packaged in a handcrafted, matching green-toned case designed by Globe-Trotter. Finally, as part of the launch of the Q2 '007 Edition' camera, Leica will be hosting a photography exhibition at its London-based gallery titled 'No Time to Die - Behind the Scenes.'
