A special James Bond limited edition of a Leica Q2 has just sold for over £30,000 at Christie’s, 60 years of James Bond Charity Auction. The camera first went on sale in September 2021 but sold out fast as there were just 250 available. 

Included in the special edition James Bond-themed Leica Q2 is a unique black paint finish on the camera casing, a bespoke ocean green, Globe-Trotter covering and carry case, the iconic 007 logos painted on the top of the camera, the limited edition number engraved under the rear display, a metal lens cover with 007 gun barrel logo engraving, a handgrip with green leather to match the camera, a black fabric shoulder strap, a certificate of authenticity and of course, a Leica AQ to the same technical specifications as the standard version. All this would’ve set you back a cheeky $7,995 – but only if you were one of the lucky ones who got one new.
