Leica Q2 Monochrom Q2 Monochrom Black 2022
The dedicated 47.3MP full-frame monochrome sensor and Summilux 28mm f/1.7 ASPH lens produce pure black-and-white images without color array artifacts. Its weather-sealed magnesium body includes a digital frame selector for 35/50/75mm fields and captures 4K video at 30fps, adding versatility beyond stills. This camera suits street photographers and monochrome purists who need a 10fps burst and a rugged, compact build for deliberate image-making.
