Leica Q2 Monochrom Reporter
The Leica Q2 Monochrom touts a brand new 47 megapixel full frame monochrome sensor based on its sibling model, the Leica Q2. Amazing sharpness, detail and resolution combines with a higher dynamic range to give photographers the best black & white image quality that is more accessible and approachable than ever before thanks to the easy-to-use, fast auto-focusing Q2 Monochrom.

Leica Q2 Monochrom Reporter
Showcased at the recent Celebration of Photography in Wetzlar, the Leica Q2 Reporter continues the long-standing tradition of integral design specifically crafted to meet the challenges of reportage and press photogrpahy. Along with its robust exterior, the camera is distinguished by a deliberate discreet appearance -- enabling the photographer to work without drawing undue attention. Both the red Leica dot on the front and the engraving on the top plate are consciously omitted for this purpose.
The design variant of the Leica Q2 is enveloped in a "body armour" made of Kevlar - a synthetic material known for its exceptional resilience. Over time, exporsure to natural UV rays will change the fabric's color, until it matches the dark green, highly scratch-resistant finish of the camera body. In addition to these traits the Leica Q2 Reporter offers the same level of protection against dust and water infiil
The Leica Q2 Monochrom bridges the gap between technical innovations and modern features to the historic legacy of black & white photography tracing back through Leica's heritage. This is the only camera of its kind: the first full frame compact camera ever to be made with a dedicated monochrome sensor – bringing with it much of the fan-favorite features of the Leica Q2 with welcome refinements to its design and style.
The essentials:
- Enriched with matching details that fit the concept of the M10-P Reporter
- Made of Kevlar
- No Leica logo on the front and no engraving on the the top
- Matte green finish, very scratch and fingerprint resistant
- 47mp full frame black and white sensor for stills and 4K video
- ISO range of 100-100,000
- The most accessible, approachable and capable Leica Monochrom camera
Kevlar
A synthetic material used in high-grade protective clothing. Kevlar fibers are so tightly spun that they are almost impossible to separate. In addition to excellent grip, it is also resistant to chemcical and thermal hazards. As a result, the Q2 Reporter's Kevlar trim - woven in a distinctive pattern - offers outstanding protection even in the harshest conditions.
