Leica Q2 Monochrom
Welcome the latest member of the Leica Monochrom family, the Q2 Monochrom – the world’s first full-frame digital compact camera to feature a dedicated monochrome sensor. To this day, black and white photography continues to exude a unique fascination, mystery and beauty. Compared with color photography, it is the most authentic manifestation of "painting with light." With its 47.3 megapixel resolution, exceedingly sharp and fast Summilux 28 f/1.7 ASPH. lens, quick and precise autofocus and crisp OLED viewfinder, the Leica Q2 Monochrom is an intuitive tool for timeless monochrome photography with an inherent focus on the essentials for the modern-day photographer.
The Q2 Monochrom is true to form with its resilient matte-black body and time-honored engravings inlaid in discreet grey and white. A conscious omission of the classic red Leica logo marks the dedication of the Q2 Monochrom’s commitment to black & white.
