Panasonic LX 100 ii & D Lux 7 are virtually the same camera, but the Panasionic version comes at a more sensible price. I mentioned having the Q only to show I am not a Leica hater smile
There are some very capable macro shooters on the site including you. For me I'm just starting to have an interest in macro, so plenty to learn. Macro staging and lighting is work.
Given it's short 28mm lens, the Q doesn't strike me as a great choice for macro shooting.

A nice object, a very good camera, sadly limited to 250 pieces with a substantial price increase compared to a " normal " Q2. And not sure it is better for macro pictures than a Leica D Lux 7 or a good Leica CL. Here are the official pictures: Love the su...  

Yes, it's called the LX 100 ii

I haven't yet moved from my old LX 100 to the new version - the original still gives plenty of satisfaction, but I may upgrade soon if I see a good deal. I could never see the value proposition for the D-Lux cameras unless the red dot is important. And I ...

and sophisticated design (would never expect any less from Leica), but I never personally cared for the '007' branding, to me it never alluded to anything more than a terribly archaic character founded in nationalism, misogyny and aggression.... But then,...

By the way, I just recently discovered the French 007 parody OSS 117 with Jean Dujardin - brilliant!! Especially the first film ....

Not bad looking, eeeh?

This looks like a last special before the Q3 is released

Rumoured in 2022 Indeed, not the machine that springs to mind when thinking about macros

The Q is hopeless for macro, no finder, and no tilt screen. Only the red dot! The Sony RX 1 II is the camera that I used most of the time for watch-photography, because it is full-frame, has a great finder and, a tilts-screen. The camera costs the same as...
