Abstract: The Leica Q2 Monochrom is a black and white version of the Q2 35mm full-frame compact camera that was launched in March 2019. That's right - as its name suggests, this camera only shoots in monochrome, not in colour. It still uses a 47.3 megapixel, 35mm...

Leica has not deliberately ‘hobbled' a regular camera to make it shoot black and white only. The Leica Q2 Monochrom has had the normal color filter array removed to produce a much higher level of black and white image quality than a regular ‘color' camera...

The Leica Q2 Monochrom is an outstanding camera, as is her sister model the original Leica Q2. The combination of a fast, wideangle, superlative 28mm f/1.7 lens and a high-res 47.3-megapixel sensor—all optimized for monochrome photography—creates an incre...

There's something nice about a well-made compact camera and they don't come much better-made than the Leica Q2, a full-frame camera with a beauty of a lens. The Leica Q2 Monochrome takes that charm a step further with the promise of first-rate black-and-w...

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...
Abstract: When I first used the Leica Q2, I was disappointed by the autofocus performance and a few other quirks. But that all improved over time–for the most part at least. And with the new Leica Q2 Monochrome, Leica hs created the most liberating camera on the ma...

Very, very expensive, Viewfinder and LCD screen don't always play nicely, No ports means no way of sending files to a TV directly from the camera
It's easy to forgive these notes, though, as the camera is just so lovely to use, and the results are as beautiful as they are a nod to classic film and prints.While film still exists, it's not something most people use. We doubt even the purists have acc...

Full-frame 47.3MP sensor, Fast f/1.7 maximum aperture, Beautiful design and excellent build
That price tag, Only shoots black-and-white, Fixed 28mm wide-angle lens
There's no doubt that the Q2 Monochrom is extremely expensive for a compact camera, albeit one with a 47.3MP full-frame sensor. And even by Leica standards, it's monochrome-only sensor makes it extremely niche. But it does give photographers who'd like to...
