Definitely keep the box if you have space for it. You can always revisit the issue down the line and see if you feel differently. Leica folks are unbelievably precious about that stuff
Hey man. How has the durability been on the ghost? Thinking about pulling the trigger on one but I'm wondering how it holds up to scratches and daily use? The regular Q2 definitely gets scratched pretty easily.
Enjoy man! I got my reporter edition last July, I still love it so much. Excited to see some content of it from you being one of my favourite creators!
I'm grabbing a Q2M soon myself. I think the Ghost is one of the best-looking cameras ever made though. It's going to get a lot of comments and questions for sure.
I'm glad you haven't went the Fuji x100v route for a point n shoot. Ready to see some shots! Let us know how they are SOOC or if you find they need to be edited.
What a small ass world dude. Evan Ranft lil bro(Eric) I partied with in college and still talk to time to time in ATL. Awesome video bro, congrats on this camera and excited to see what you create.
Stoked for you man! Definitely wouldn’t call you an idiot for getting one - they hold their value for a reason! I have an old Leica that my grandpa got in WWII and we’re keeping it in the fam for sure!
I discovered you on social media platforms a week or so ago and man your content hits all the spots. Keep up the great work man. -From Chicago as well 🤝
@@JHawk that’s fair! Yea if you’re getting them semi regularly that would definitely be the case😂 I’m in love with the sleeves and the hand jammers. I want plenty more myself and appreciate others’ work when they’re done well!
Congrats! I am so jealous of your new Q2 Lecia! It may be a bit pricey, however well worth the $$ spent. I am a B&W photographer and have been drooling over the Q2M. Id love to see more Q2 content including photo taken with this new addition to you Kit. Again congratulations! Jerry McCready Fort Wayne Indiana! Cheers!!
I def want to see for at least 3 days worth of content without anyone knowing, you use the Leica Q2 ghost for your instagram and give us your thoughts on using it on UA-cam after the three days . That would be pretty dope to see how it comes out. ☑
I’m so stoked to see the photos you’ll be taking with that camera! I’ve been wanting this camera for a while now, but the priceeeeee 😩😩 One day, for sure! Enjoy it brother!
Called it :D Congrats on your Q2 Ghost! I got myself after some long thinking time an used Q2 Monochrome, which is the opposite of your white Q2 - all black :) And I enjoy creating POV videos while shooting with it :)
jacked up to see you're excitment and curious as to what you can come up with for content as always tho a great video and looking forward to the next one
The ghost Q2 is more a collectible version of the camera. To me, The markings on the lens and the dials are just hard to read and make it less practical to use in some ( or many) situations. The front of it is very handsome though. Probably the best looking version viewing from the front and top. Not a fan of the back tho.
Nice video. Entertaining and informative. Not in the market for a camera, but still enjoyed watching this. New subscriber here and on IG. Keep up the good work
Is Leica worth the price? No. Could be that I'm doing this for a living and never see a Leica as a "workhorse" camera, never did and still isn't. But I never really enjoyed carrying my "work cameras" for my own recreational use shooting my kids, family, as they are cumbersome. Ever since I got the Q (used), it made me wanna bring out the camera even more, it's light, it's functional, its easy, it's great point and shoot and now I have great shots of these. Now, that's worth it.
This camera makes sense for you in many ways. Ghost? Check. Clean, perfect looking piece of equipment? Check. Easy to appreciate high quality? Check. If you can afford it and have an appreciation for it I don’t see why you shouldn’t get it. My only questions is what are you going to use it for? What’s your primary goal for this camera?
I think Leica can be very accurately compared to Rolex. You get exceptionally well made products, but both are also luxury brands. You are not just paying for quality, but also for the exclusivity that comes with it. Just like you could get a much cheaper watch than a Rolex which also tells the time very well, you can get a decent camera that also takes amazing pictures for much less than the price of a Leica, but with a Leica or a Rolex, you almost feel like you are a member of some exclusive club.
i don`t know who evan ranft is.........i know Cartier-Bresson, Helmut Newton, P Lindbergh, and much more.....but no ranft..sorry, is this bad? the camera is great it is leica, i thought a lot about the Q2 monochrome, but 28mm........😞
I see Leica like I see Rolex. No one needs one, everyone wants one. Unlike say an Arri Alexa which is super expensive but it's an industry camera for a reason. Not many pros rock Leicas because they're just not the right tool for most jobs. They're a luxury toy for rich people like Ferraris or pleasure craft. If I won the lotto, hell I'd grab a Leica with a matching Rolex. Since I don't buy lotto tickets - doubt I'll ever have my hands on one lol
Interesting. See I think of it like any other camera. For example my fx3 (4,000) paired with the 16-35 (2,000). It’s actually a similar price to the Leica. I’ll make more than it’s worth within the next month using it, so for me it’s actually a good investment, but pricey for sure!
Let me know what kind of content you want to see on this camera below! 🤘🏻
I’ve seen a lot of photo content from the q2 but not really video a jhawk reel shot on the q2 would be sick! 🙌
Street photos
How Much?
Definitely keep the box if you have space for it. You can always revisit the issue down the line and see if you feel differently.
Leica folks are unbelievably precious about that stuff
So true! Def keeping it 🙏🏻 thanks for watching!
Hey man. How has the durability been on the ghost? Thinking about pulling the trigger on one but I'm wondering how it holds up to scratches and daily use? The regular Q2 definitely gets scratched pretty easily.
Been fine for me! I’m just careful with it
@@JHawk Thanks for the response! Getting mine tomorrow!
I have the Ghost Q2 as well. It basically become my main color camera. You will love it. For me I still find myself favor the Q2M when out shooting. 😅
Ohhh can’t wait to test it out! Appreciate you watching 🤘🏻
Enjoy man! I got my reporter edition last July, I still love it so much. Excited to see some content of it from you being one of my favourite creators!
That’s the other one that had my eye!
Dope...looking forward to seeing what it produces
Aye thanks so much bro!
I'm grabbing a Q2M soon myself. I think the Ghost is one of the best-looking cameras ever made though. It's going to get a lot of comments and questions for sure.
It’s pretty amazing. And Grats on the new cam!
WOW, What a beautiful and clean looking masterpiece of a camera!!
It really is!
I'm glad you haven't went the Fuji x100v route for a point n shoot. Ready to see some shots! Let us know how they are SOOC or if you find they need to be edited.
Had to go the Leica route! So stoked to test this thing out. Got you 🤘🏻

What a small ass world dude. Evan Ranft lil bro(Eric) I partied with in college and still talk to time to time in ATL. Awesome video bro, congrats on this camera and excited to see what you create.
Haha love it bro 🤘🏻

@@JHawk that’s fair! Yea if you’re getting them semi regularly that would definitely be the case😂 I’m in love with the sleeves and the hand jammers. I want plenty more myself and appreciate others’ work when they’re done well!

Fire. This thing is sleek man
It’s so sick! Sheesh
@@JHawk I can't wait to see the content produced from it on the socials brother!
Truly just it being the GHOST edition was enough of a reason to buy it 😂😂
Lmao right!!
Congrats on the beautiful camera! Definitely so cool to have a Leica in your collection. Happy shooting brother!
Really appreciate it, thank you!
congratulations on the pick up! The camera looks insane and i know for sure you’re going to create some dope content with it! ❤

Linked on my Amazon!
Would love to see some street photography in downtown Chicago. Love the video.
It’s coming!
@@JHawk sweeeeeeet!!!! Can’t wait!
Nice video. Entertaining and informative. Not in the market for a camera, but still enjoyed watching this. New subscriber here and on IG. Keep up the good work

Are they worth the price? No.
Will I still buy one? Absolutely!
Depends tbh! Love it 🤘🏻
Create some photos! Congrats!!!
That's the plan! Thank you!
Damn, what a beast!
Retweet haha
Do a pov street photography video in Chicago
Def going to!
@@JHawk cool man, I’ll be looking forward to it. I hope you enjoy your new camera

Love this thank you! Planning on it being my daily driver photo camera. Beyond stoked to shoot with it 🤘🏻
@@JHawk definitely give us a video of you out shooting with it though. Seems like a killer for lifestyle photos!
Beautiful camera definitely worth shooting on! I love mines but definitely not worth the price. We are definitely just paying for the name!
Love it so far!
I think Leica can be very accurately compared to Rolex.
You get exceptionally well made products, but both are also luxury brands.
You are not just paying for quality, but also for the exclusivity that comes with it.
Just like you could get a much cheaper watch than a Rolex which also tells the time very well, you can get a decent camera that also takes amazing pictures for much less than the price of a Leica, but with a Leica or a Rolex, you almost feel like you are a member of some exclusive club.
I wish it had eye af at that price.
Facts
Everybody remembers the canon R unboxing! 😱🤮🤦♂️
Haha good times
i don`t know who evan ranft is.........i know Cartier-Bresson, Helmut Newton, P Lindbergh, and much more.....but no ranft..sorry, is this bad? the camera is great it is leica, i thought a lot about the Q2 monochrome, but 28mm........😞
You should check out Evan! Great dude
@@JHawk ..thanks, i will do it, here in EU we don`t see lots of north or south american photographers.. greets BM
Ill get a Camera 1 day
You got this
Show us 1 extraordinary pic that could only be shot with this camera.
Bet
I see Leica like I see Rolex. No one needs one, everyone wants one. Unlike say an Arri Alexa which is super expensive but it's an industry camera for a reason. Not many pros rock Leicas because they're just not the right tool for most jobs. They're a luxury toy for rich people like Ferraris or pleasure craft. If I won the lotto, hell I'd grab a Leica with a matching Rolex. Since I don't buy lotto tickets - doubt I'll ever have my hands on one lol

I can never buy any cool gadgets because I never "need" them so I can't justify the expense
Start a UA-cam channel 😂🤘🏻
What a beaut🥵
