Leica Q2 Monochrom Review

 

Gorgeous wide-angle lens ; 47MP full-frame sensor ; Built for black-and-white images ; 4K DCI video ; IP52 durability rating

Expensive ; Omits in-camera charging ; Traditional glass filters recommended for color balance

The Leica Q2 Monochrom is a speciality version of the Q2, made just for black-and-white imaging. It's not quite as versatile as the color edition, but it will make monochrome specialists happy—for a price.

Leica Q2 review

 

The Leica Q2 is an impressively capable fixed-lens, full-frame camera with a 47MP sensor and a sharp, stabilized 28mm F1.7 Summilux lens. It's styled like a traditional Leica M rangefinder and brings a host of updates to the hugely popular original...

The Leica Q2 is Leica's best camera. Or, at least, it's the easiest to justify. It's objectively very good at what it's trying to do, and doesn't have the kinds of omissions or shortcomings - such as the

Leica Q2

 

Leica's pricey Q2 camera marries a superb lens to a high-resolution image sensor and puts it all in a travel-friendly, weather-sealed package.

High-resolution full-frame image sensor. Quick, accurate autofocus. Bright, sharp lens. Optical stabilization. IP52 weather protection. Big, sharp EVF. Up to 20fps capture. 4K video. Wi-Fi.

Expensive. Doesn't track subjects at top burst rate. No flash.

Bottom Line: Leica's pricey Q2 camera marries a superb lens to a high-resolution image sensor and puts it all in a travel-friendly, weather-sealed package.

Leica Q2 review in progress

 

The Leica Q2 is a fixed-lens, full-frame camera sporting a new 47.3MP sensor and a sharp, stabilized 28mm F1.7 Summilux lens. It's styled like a traditional Leica M rangefinder and replaces the hugely popular original Leica Q (Typ 116), launched in 2015.

Leica Q2 Monochrom Review

 

The Leica Q2 Monochrom is a 35mm full-frame compact camera with a 28mm fixed focal length lens that exclusively only shoots in black and white. With a price tag of £5000 / $6000, is this a niche product that no one will buy, or somebody's idea of a...

Leica Q2 Reporter review

 

With 47 megapixels and 4K cine video, the Leica Q2 Reporter is a luxury compact camera built like a tank. This is our verdict

• Superb image quality ; • Amazing auto and manual focus ; • Great build quality

• EVF lag (sometimes) ; • Fixed LCD screen

The Leica Q2 is one of our favorite compact cameras... so it is no surprise that we really enjoy the Leica Q2 Reporter. Yes, it is expensive – but if you want the absolute best in luxury cameras, without the camera shouting that it is a luxury camera,...

Leica Q2 review

 

We get to try out the 47-megapixel Leica Q2 compact camera. This is our verdict, with lab test results…

• Superb image quality ; • Great range of autofocus and manual focus controls ; • The beautiful feel and engineering

• The price (if you have to ask, you probably can't afford it) ; • The LCD panel is fixed ; • No built-in flash

The Leica Q is one of our favorite compact cameras... and based on our brief time using this full-frame compat on we can already feel that that there is a new love in our life. Yes, the Leica Q2 is expensive – but if you want the absolute in luxury...
