LEICA Q2 MONOCHROM COMPACT DIGITAL CAMERA SUMMARY

The Leica Q2 Monochrom compact digital camera has been developed for photographers and connoisseurs to experience black and white photography in its purest form. The all new 47.3 megapixel sensor is capable of class-leading ISO performance, extendable from ISO 100 – 100,000. This allows the camera to excel in low light situations when coupled with the built-in Summilux 28mm f/1.7 ASPH lens with Macro-Mode, which is the fastest lens in its class. 4K/30p and high speed 120p Full HD video is also available in this stylish and highly accomplished compact mirrorless camera.

HIGHLIGHT FEATURES

• Newly developed 47.3 megapixel full frame monochrome sensor
• Built-in Summilux 28mm f/1.7 ASPH with Macro-Mode

Naturally this German made camera has been designed to be discrete, elegant and has the Red Dot logo removed as has become de rigueur for BW models, similar to the M10 Monochrom Digital Rangefinder. State of the art technology and a new microlens design result in a completely new monochrome sensor, exclusively developed for the Q2 Monochrom. The sensor captures 13 stops of dynamic range and performs excellently in low-light, delivering impressive image quality. The OLED viewfinder is particularly bright and provides improved contrast and picture quality for an enhanced viewing experience similar to the colour Q2 camera.

LEICA Q2 MONOCHROM IN MORE DETAIL

Every component and all technical features in the Leica Q2 Monochrom are designed for premium quality. The discreet monochrome design is elegant and unobtrusive and a high resolution OLED viewfinder provides an ideal view and an exact live preview of black and white images. The brightness of each individual pixel in the OLED viewfinder is independently controlled, yielding improved contrast and picture quality. Power consumption remains low even with the strength of the high-resolution EVF.
