Really enjoyed that. Thank you both.
I'll wager we'll see many used Qs for sale eventually, after the infatuation wanes and folks realize 28mm is not for them. I've got no data, but my sense is the number who enjoy the close working distances a 28 requires is relatively low. I, and many others, love it in the GR, but the whole gestalt is different with that little guy.

28mm is not an easy FL. And it's definitely not a one lens kinda focal length either. I'm shooting a wedding on the 4th with it around my neck the whole night (plus flash).. I'm just trying to decide if I want to use my S-system, M-system, Nikon or Canon for my other needed focal lengths that day/night.
Everything I'm doing before then, doesn't require a 28mm lens
So won't have much time to play before the wedding, unless I fly off on a short trip.
If the Q had been a 35/50 I might have been able to use it exclusively.
Hmmm... Kinda makes me wish they had a Q28 and a Q75. I'd be able to shoot a whole wedding with those two FLs.
You're probably right about the used units rolling in after a few months. Though it is a damn fun camera to use.. Far more so then the Sony A7-series.
Wondering if this time next year we'll have a complete mirrorless system from Leica?!?!
On another note: Metz has informed me that their Metz 26 AF-1 will NOT work with the Q. Which is sort of what I confirmed when I tried using their leica/pan/oly 44(?) at the shop yesterday. So you'll all have to buy the expensive SF-26 flash
