🔴 Hello LEICA Q! | Why now, 2022?

[@maxw-h]

Got myself a secondhand Q in 2023. And woof! I was absolutely blown away by how amazing it is

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Welcome to the world of Leica! :) Yes a great camera for sure

[@jeffreymorris11]

A lucid and refreshing, standout presentation, unlike copious faffing too often in promotions by others.

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Thanks Jeffrey! Much appreciated.

[@LeicaM82]

I was fortunate to be an early Q owner. The camera is extremely capable, but I wound up back using M’s for two reasons: first, I prefer the OVF vs. even the excellent Q EVF, and when the 28/1.4 M lens was released, I saw even better image quality. I caution you not to do a side by side comparison with that lens for the sake of your pocketbook. As for selling the CL, keeping every camera you enjoy is a perilous path. Trust me, I know.

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Thanks! I know the 28/1.4 is better, one of my Patreons has it and mentioned it on one of our Zoom calls. OVF are very rewarding, I still enjoy Ms for that.

[@noseycomic499]

Welcome to the Q tribe!!🙏🏿 I have both Q2s and I am rarely disappointed with image quality and ease of use. Based on personal experience you won’t be disappointed! Cheers

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Thanks for the welcome! I’m exited to get started.

[@jamesdziura5114]

I am considering buying a Q. I've watched a bunch of videos to help with the decision and this video is the most helpful I have seen. Thank you!

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Thanks James, much appreciated! Great camera!

[@JimagesPhoto]

Matt, Clear, precise, excellent video. This post of yours, with over 21,000 views as of July 2022, was the reason I subscribed. Your spoiler alert grabbed my attention right away. I like that you do not use distracting music, that you are modest, and that you had helpful specifics like using 1/500th of a second on the Q with compatible flash film. Also, showing BW instead of color on the display (clients getting color) is another helpful idea. Thanks so much Matt. Now a loyal subscriber.

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Thanks so much Jim! I appreciate your feedback and i'm glad you enjoyed the video. Yes this is one of my most popular videos in recent times. I guess there are a lot of Q lovers out there! (I showed the Q again in last night's video against the Q2M!)

[@thomasgoetze]

My old Q becomes a more and more everyday camera to me. Outstanding quality combined with simple UI. It can‘t get better for me …

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Thanks Thomas! I'm late to the Q party but really enjoying it so far! (More Q vids to follow!)

[@cwl1354]

When someone commended pointless, usually the youtuber dont respond. You gain my respect for having a high EQ in response. Well done and have a good day.

Thanks!

[@dalemoore387]

I recently sold all my Fujifilm gear and bought the Q3, as I also wanted a 1 camera and 1 body system. Best decision ever. I don’t know how to increase the shutter speed though to beyond 2000. Great video!

Congrats! Check the online manual for settings

[@mrrcassidy]

The wedding deal was the ultimate enthusiast's 'win win'. Love it.

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Thanks Richard! Yes! I sold a camera to fund the other half

[@AswinSastrowardoyo]

I now bring two cameras in festivity settings, a Q2 for capturing fast paced actions and an M10-D with a 50mm f1 for carefully shot portrait images. I think it is a good combination.

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Nice Aswin! I think my wedding setup will be similar. My last wedding was SL + 50 f0.95

[@daniellejolly4460]

[@neilharbinson387]

The Q was my gateway camera into the Leica brand. I love it and I still use it quite often. I now use it in conjunction with two M cameras (that I use with a selection of fast M lenses) and it fits in nicely to cover the 28mm focal length. As you have said, it’s like having a really good 28mm lens with a very nice camera attached to it, although its macro capability and other features make the Q a lot more than that. The Q and the M system cameras are great for landscape and travel photography, which is what I use them for. The Q seems to be a really versatile camera, given that so many street and reportage photographers regard it as their ‘go-to’ camera that is perfect for their needs. Wedding photographers also love it for its low light capability and its ability to facilitate candid shots judging by your comments. I think my next camera will be the Q2M because I love monochrome and I am blown away by the image quality. That is some way off though

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Thanks Neil! Q+M is a strong combo! I'll see if I can test a Q2M one day vs Q so stay tuned!

[@jonasfloriani]

As an owner of M, SL and Q (apart from many other brands) have to admit that the Q became my favorite! Enjoy!

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Hey thanks Jonas! It's really fun to use isn't it! More vids to come once i've used it more!

[@duketoby0]

Have a Q. Love it. But for weddings be super careful with the buffer. Its really really bad. Except from that, superb camera with good value

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Thanks Tobias! Noted. I won’t machine gun the weddings so hopefully I’ll be fine.

[@absonus]

Oh dear . A Q has been at the back of my mind for a while .Three film M`s ,a CL and an SL2S is what I currently use . Shot various Richo GRD `s for years so like the 28 F/L . A integrated lens would also be useful here on the windy/sandy North West coast. Great review covering all the salient points with that all important emphasis on the practical issues .Thank you (I think :) )

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Hey Michael, sorry if I just cost you money! ..but yes they are a lot of fun! :)

[@e.r.4077]

Good for you! Your reasons were excellent, especailly the need for speed at weddings. I'tend to keep the CL because so many M or R lenses can be used...but if the issue is that the autofocus isn't smooth I understand. Congratulations!

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Thanks and yes the CL and SL are great with MF lenses ..perfect for my portraits!

[@ChrisWhittenMusic]

Sold my Q about 6 months ago. It IS an amazing camera. I kinda miss it. The image it produces are special, better than the CL imo. All down to the amazing lens. Although…I realised I hardly ever wanted to shoot 28mm, so sold the camera. Macro with a 28mm lens? I’m not sure…I never used it. Q with a 35 or 50 would be my all time dream camera.

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Thanks Chris, yes the Q only makes sense for 28mm use. I'll see what I can do with mine and share in future vids.

[@ChrisWhittenMusic]

The Q will go down as a classic. The lens is outstanding. If it was 35 or 50 I would keep mine. I didn’t find my Q auto focus much different to the CL. I just focus and recompose. Getting my SL today and hoping for Q type image quality. A 35 or 50 Q would be an instant buy for me. Maybe I’ll rebuy the Q one day. I took it to Finland, Mozambique and South Africa. Got amazing images from it, but even then struggled with the 28mm only factor.

[@LucyS565]

Great comparisons Matt! I look forward to and enjoy all your videos. I've learned so much! :0)

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Thanks Lucy! :)

[@jeromearnould9940]

Congrats You will love it ... I had one and sold it when I went to the CL because of you 🙂 A fast, light and very well made gear is going to be a plus in your hands ... Can't wait to see your street photos (and others) with this new bad boy !

Thanks Jerome, you're not the first person to write " I had one and sold it when I went to the CL because of you 🙂" lol. (The CL is still great). Thanks I will try to get some nice work with the Q! (Paris in the colder months could look great with a Q I bet... Hmm) :)

Respect! This is very helpful and Timeless. Even D/C'd Leica models are worth saving

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Thanks Mark!

[@philmtx3fr]

Hi Matt I began with the Leica Q and seeing your videos I then bought the CL for longer lenses and a zoom for travel. I recommend you to keep the CL. Personally I love it with the 56mm from sigma. It s a pity Leica decided to stop it . I think it s really an underestimated camera and thx again to you for making me discover it.

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Thanks Phil, no problem. Yes the CL is excellent. The Q will be used less but will be great for my wedding shoots where I want that shallow DOF low light look/ ability. CL wins for travel for sure.

[@rumporridge1]

Use my Q-P to document my sons early life. It is amazing capturing the entire scene with the 28mm. For my other work the SL2 is my workhorse.

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Nice setup! I can't wait to use my Q camera more. I gave the SL2 some love in last night's video too!

[@rumporridge1]

@@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom yea I saw that. Great content and much needed in the Leica world.

[@billballhorn3129]

Matt, I considered selling my Q when I purchased the Q2 Monochrom (having the Q and its fond memories made the Q2M purchase a no brainer). I had to keep the Q, it was my first Leica after all. I think I've become a Summilux junkie!

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Hey Bill, great to see you hear. Yes I can see the Summilux addiction being real! :)

[@hmli2353]

Love the Q but still keeping my CL. The only “con” of the CL is the smaller sensor, but I can change lens. The 2 complement each other perfectly. And instead of buying a Q2 and crop in, when I want longer focal length, I just use the CL with Leica R mount 50mm, 90mm. That said, if I had the money, would I buy the Q2: heck yeah! Love your channel, keep up the great work!

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Thanks! I love that the CL and Q share the same batteries. My thoughts exactly.. use the CL for more reach/ travel and SL for shallow DOF shots less wide to match Q - wedding 2nd body etc.

[@Boxer1250RT]

Some years ago, I dumped my Leica M240 for a Q and never looked back. The Q gives you that Creamy and Dreamy Leica look with much less effort. I don't believe I will ever sell or update the original Q. Cheers.

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Thanks, yes I’m loving the Q so far too!

[@lonlep1831]

🙏 Ai, ai, ai, you got me thinking again about my Leica x. Its on my list to sell ( like the cl and the M8), And ofcourse thinking about the Q. I recognise your enthousiasm for a new camera and then finding the right argument to buy it. Somehow it always adds up 😁😁😁

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Haha sorry to cause trouble! :)

[@Baronic]

I had a sony rx1r prior, which is like a like q but 35mm f2. And never again if not weather sealed. There is no way to clean the sensor when there is dust, and it's not a matter of if, but when you get dust on that sensor. To clean it you gotta send it in for repair which costs a lot!

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Thanks good tip. I’ll only be using it in safe conditions.

[@Baronic]

@@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom good luck. All I did was put it in my bag and a large piece of lint somehow got into the camera and unto the sensor.

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

@@Baronic eek that’s really annoying, sorry to hear.

[@suehodnett6911]

Lots of folk tape up the microphone holes on the top and back of the original Q to prevent dust getting in. Apparently the earlier Q models were quite prone to dust on the sensor. I really like using my Q for little video clips (despite everyone saying it's rubbish for this!) and stopped taping the ports up so I didn't miss the sound on the videos. My Q developed a weird delamination of the EVF recently so something to watch out for. Leica Mayfair repaired it very quickly and I thought very reasonably priced. Good luck with it, I love mine and couldn't be persuaded with a CL even through your excellent and informative videos 😁👍🏻

[@jeeefthegreat7555]

I've got two M10's and also had a Q2. Sold the Q2 since it had me quit using the M's entirely. It's just so much better for quick shots. 24mm fixed lens (it's not really 28 actually) worked great for me, and honestly what's the point in manual exposure and focus when automatically it's always perfect and so much faster? Might get the Q2 again at some point ...

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Yes some people get the Qs for this..then others then get the Ms to slow down or to use a variety of nice lenses

[@zoltankaparthy9095]

Yes, yes, yes to autofocus. I had the A7M III out today with the SONY 24 - 240 zoom. Get the zoom right, press the button, done. Correctly exposed and focused, I can rip off a stream of photos if I wish and the color and image are good. Plus IBIS. Powerful arguments to stray from RFF cameras. I suppose I could play golf with a croquet mallet and make live standing up in a hammock, but I don't. I understand the move to a Q.

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Haha thanks Zoltan! :)

[@brineb58]

Innit amazing how when the gear fits your reality and it just feels awesome!!!

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Thanks Brian! Yes! It just ..works!

[@-grey]

Shallow depth of field has never been an issue for me. I usually like to have more depth for layering compositions. Bokeh feels like an amateurish way to achieve a contrast of depth once you get good at layering.

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

You'll love the CL then. I shoot M43 too and small cameras are the way forward if don't need shallow DOF.

I like the way your latest videos are "confirming" my own choices. I have a Q and a CL and really like them both. I’m grateful for your points of comparison, which give me lots of helpful hints. I’m just getting used to the ins and outs of both of these cameras, and I think they’re here to stay in my 'arsenal'. For good.

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Thanks Peter! I'm glad we are agreeing on things. I can only report my own experiences but i'm glad you can relate!

[@weisserth]

I think Leica did something very smart with the Q/Q2 choosing to ship it with a fast 28mm lens. They probably did not sell that many fast 28mm M lenses anyway - mainly because 28mm is a horrible experience on modern day Leica M bodies with their default 0.72 viewfinder magnification. For people with glasses there is no way you can see the 28mm frame lines on an M (it's hard with 35mm already!). And let's be honest. It's older men who typically have the disposable income to purchase expensive Leica cameras to indulge in a luxury hobby. And older men tend to wear glasses. Me included. I got a used 28mm Elmarit for my M. I hardly use it. Because it's so difficult to frame. I would have to put on contact lenses for that setup. If I wanted a 28mm, I would go with a Q/Q2. It's a no-brainer. Matt, I've read a lot about the horrible green tint on the out of camera JPGs from the original Q. Did they fix that with firmware? Or is that still an issue?

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Thanks TW. I do remember greenish files from 2019/2020 but i've not noticed it yet this time. Time will tell.

[@duongm2]

Thanks for the video. If I may ask, how did you do the renaming of the files in the Q? I can’t find this option in my menu system.

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Thanks Mike. Yes strangely you can change the name in all cameras except the Q so my plan to change the naming for mine never happened sadly.

[@arrangearrange]

If you love 28mm exclusively and want a travel camera, the Q is excellent. Otherwise, get a CL or, if you want full frame, sigma FP, IMO. I love 28mm but I could never give up my other focal lengths.

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

I think the CL is still my travel cameras as sometimes I like longer lenses. Maybe the Q for the darker months. Q is mostly for my weddings and a few portraits for fun.

[@arrangearrange]

@@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom sounds good! Check out the sigma fp, it’s amazing!

Love it Matt great vid and cracking photos cheers. I'm a wannabe leica owner, I had the Fuji X100 series, recently gave the F to my old dad. I love that camera, love fixed lens cameras on the whole. Leica to me at this point in time are out of my price range, saying that if I stop buying old cameras, film, chemicals, stop eating chocolate, stop paying through the nose for diesel and van repairs, even sell my chubby arse at the local prison for a year, maybe just maybe I could afford a broken leica.

I really enjoyed my Leica Q2 Monochrome. The Q2 is what I would go for if I want a color version of the camera. The high resolution sensor allows me have multiple cropping options in case I need to crop in instead of having the 28mm field of view. To be honest, the 50mm field of view is more of my fav. Hope Leica can make the Q3 with a 50mm lens :)

Matt Osborne Okay! We’ll do!

[@RS-Amsterdam]

I own a Q and will never sell it (Chose Q over Q2 cause I don't need the high MP, rather have better low light performance and ..... also chose for the Q-P over the normal Q) Now what surprises me the most is .... WHY DIDN'T YOU BUY A Q2 MONOCHROME , cause then you would experience real B/W photography . The Q2 MONO has more micro contrast cause there is no color filter array and due to that fact, is where that Summilux really shines cause that lens by itself is razor sharp !

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Thanks RS, The Q-P is nice! I looked at them but went for cheaper Q. I need colour option for clients hence no mono cameras so far.

[@irenedp4947]

My first Leica was a Q, bought in 2018. In 2017 I had bought a Fuji X100 F, but became progressively annoyed eith it because of the softness of the lens and the terrible ISO performance. It was a great decision, not only in those respects but in the simplicity and the fidelity of the color, and the body stabilization. I still keep it and use it as my personal camera, and some images end up systematically in my work projects.

[@FarEastSurvival]

Your video is so timely for me. I'm deciding between a 28mm Summicron for my M10R or instead getting a Q and a 28mm Elmarit 2.8 as the prices are similar. The Leica Q would allow me to have a macro and low light capability while the small 28/2.8 would be a perfect compliment to the M10R for fast daylight outdoor street photography. You are making lean towards the latter option. I would not sell the CL at all. I originally sold a Q to trade for a CL and I didn't regret the decision. Now that I'm looking for a 28mm lens, having the 28mm summilux 1.7 with the digital body attached to it isn't a bad idea.

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Thanks. I would get the Q (but you know if you've owned one).. a big 28mm on M10R will make it far less fun to use vs. small Elmarit + Q.

[@UListenHere]

hank you for the informative video. I've been using the Leica Q2 reporter for a few weeks. I'm actually the 50mm photographer but since digital cameras are sensitive, even if you never change or unscrew the lens and the sensor still attracts dust, I bought the Q2 reporter which is dust and water resistant.. The camera is sensational, but sometimes buildings lean towards the center of the frame or animal/human proportions aren't exactly right. I know that this is due to my lack of experience and not to the Q2. So I would like to ask you to explain to me how to avoid distortions of proportions and perspective(s), Thanks very much!

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Hi, sorry just catching up with comments.. for distortion just watch you angles. You can see the distortion in the VF so just adjust the camera angle before taking the photo to minimise.

[@paulanderson24]

There is something about the Q that is so appealing. 24MP is more than enough (You may recall I still primarily use an Leica M8). The lens does look somewhat bulky compared to the M setup. However if they made a 35 or 40mm Q model I would probably have to seriously consider it. I definitely have too many cameras, however but my Leicas will never be sold

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Thanks Paul, yes I used to shoot weddings with the M8 so I had to nail the compo as not much space for cropping a 10MP file :) Yes the Q has really impressed me.

Thanks Matt for the informative video. I have a Q2 and I am loving it so much that I abandoned my leica M . It is fast compact light and I love shooting wide + the macro option is a bounce, BUT as you mentioned in the video such a great camera needs a newer faster computer with a better display which I don’t have and that slowdowns my work flow so much. I start copying the pictures go have food then come back to the computer to edit. I can’t downgrade to Q since I bought my Q2 new but I need to invest in a better computer.

Nice one Matt, good to see you’re keeping an open mind and are even prepared to ditch manual focus if it helps you do a better job. I’ve been thinking of switching to AF for events/weddings, but on Sony there are a couple of M-mount autofocus adapters e.g. Fotodiox Pro Pronto, which turn M lenses into AF lenses. One reviewer (Matt Grainger) said he was getting a 90% hit rate if memory serves. Using dumb adapters to M-mount one can also use the AF-adapter old film lenses from other brands and use them with autofocus as well. This will open up the world of vintage lenses using AF which will give a completely different look to the average wedding/events photographer. I’ve also been thinking of incorporating a smaller setup, but using the Sony A7c (also full-frame) and using it as a backup or even as a walkabout camera when travelling.

[@martinandreasson5504]

Its absolutely a "valid" camera in this day and age, and for me will be for many many years to come if not forever as long as it is still around. I think it will be one of those classic models that will have a following( and already has to some degree) like the lion Df and D700 and leica M9 and the Fuji X100 etc. I had two of them, and the first was a Titanium i sold to buy into some fuji gear several years ago. I always kind of regretted it and fast forward a few years i wanted one again and decided to sell all my fuji gear. I was shooting weddings and work with my Nikon system, but my Fuji setup was for my own traveling and day to day shooting. The same thing i had my Q for, just documenting things in my everyday life. So when i looked around for another Q i saw that they had the Q-P out, and that ticked all my boxes even more. They had changed the shutter button/switch that som had a problem with and you got another original battery, as well as being the best looking leica i had seen to date. It was just perfect for me at least. But the Q2 was also out, so i had to go back and forth over what my priority was an also weigh in the cost of course. I never had any issues with dust or moisture ruining my other Q and it seemed very sturdy, no problems at all. Sure i never shot in pouring rain, but i seldom do with any camera, and it could handle a light drizzle for sure if you kept it a bit safe. Other than that the other pros of the Q2 was more like cons for me. I was not keen on more pixels, it always felt 16-24 was the sweet spot for what's needed and what my computer could handle. It was slightly bigger which already the Q was as big as i wanted a everyday camera to be, so that was a con for me with the Q2. Also i heard many stating that it was not as good in low light as the Q was, and also that the images looked a bit more digital on the Q2 a bit too perfect. And that was also a con for me. I rather have character and "analog" look to my files than a perfectly sharp and digital look( not saying the Q2 has that completely...just comparing the two and from what i have heard other users say). So, i decided on the Q-P and could not be happier with it. I made some of my favorite pictures ever with that and my other Q, and for me its just the perfect documentary camera. Its not perfect for portraiture or sport or other genres, but it can do SO much and is so versatile and fun to shoot with. You can take great landscapes and nature shots( with the little macro) and the colors are amazing. Also the character of the Lux lens gives it that incredible look. I used it on a wedding once in a barn, and i also had the D4 and DF ( Nikon) with me, the lighting was horrific only candlelights and dim flashbulbs here and there. But the Q was the most usable files over all from that scenario. And the Df/D4 are known for those kind of capabilities. So in wedding scenarios its amazing for all the candids etc. So...the weird part i i sold it for getting an M240 and an M4 in the end lol. And i stil have the M240 with a couple of lenses. I love that kit now....but it took me a long while to get over the thought of not having my Q-P. And i still think its one of my favorite cameras ever. I would buy one in a heartbeat if i had the money. So, congratulations Matt on your Q, enjoy it as long as it lasts :) Regards Martin.

Hi, Matt. I really appreciate your uncompromised no surrendering to taboos, speech What has quality, works well and fits your needs is good, period. There are a lot of things in this world that, despite being of great quality, are always depreciate because that brand has better and more apreciated models, which, at the very least, is a waste of good equipment that is thrown into the under-dog league. I greatly appreciate seeing in your videos the lucidity and logic of giving the right emphasis to this type of equipment. Does Leica have bad equipment? Or do they have some who are amazing and others who are "just" very good? It is not because of my other very renowned Leica equipment, that I do not appreciate the excellent performance of the Z2X in the 35mm or D-lux 7 in digital, and enjoy every time I use them. In fact, I have already compared this with the twin Lumix LX100 II and undoubtedly the result is different, one has and the other does not have the Leica magic and excellence. Thank you Matt

[@sfbroome]

Matt, I've been enjoying your videos and have learned quite a bit from them. I want to mention that at about 1:30 in the video you state that the f/2.8 lens becomes an f/4 because of the crop sensor. I don't believe this is correct, from other sources I've seen and read. While the field of view certainly changes when mounted on the smaller sensor, the light gathering capability of the lens does not change, since the lens does not care what it is mounted on. I don't believe the lens loses a stop of light based on what it is mounted on. I welcome your thoughts, however.

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

HI Steve, thanks. Yes sorry to say the wrong thing. The light gathering does not change only the DOF. (Video guys like M43 as you get more in focus without having to stop down as much).

Only reason I’d never buy any of the current Q models is that EVF. It’s an accident waiting to happen. It needs to SL porthole design rather than that wide open piece of plastic/glass that can easily get scratched and damaged. I’ve read a few people having to send them in for a €300 repair for just that issue. Plus it’s not sealed and others have complained of dust on the sensor. Other than that it’s a winner

I've been on the fence about Leica for a while now. My Sony camera is vastly superior in all performance metrics, so when I look at it that way, it's easy to just laugh it off. But there's an allure that I believe comes from the fact that I miss the 20th century, and the Leica M10 is exactly what 1950's engineers would build if modern digital camera technology suddenly dropped in their laps. So far, I've been able to resist the Leica temptress.

I went to a Leica store to buy a Q2, but I wasn’t impressed with the camera build quality compared to a Leica M11 or CL. The CL felt more solid in the hand, I was looking forward to a CL2. RIP CL. 😢 I might still buy a used CL, but it’s good to know that you felt the AF performance was limited on that camera. For now, instead of a Q2, I bought a Ricoh GR3, which seems to fit my needs more. I’m still not used to 28mm, so I’m glad I didn’t spend big with the Q2 unless I love 28mm.

[@monjue4459]

Wait? ... you thought the Q2 build quality was not great? then you buy a GR3?? GR3 is a good camera but just a crappy piece of plastic tbh...

[@JP1050x]

@@monjue4459 ya, I’m surprised that no one really mentions how light and hollow the Q2 feels in the hand. Leica might have made it that way to keep it light.

The Ricoh GR3 is a compact magnesium body camera. It’s not plastic. But I prefer to use mine as an everyday carry and travel camera. The Q2 isn’t as travel friendly as the GR, because the Q2 is not a small camera.

So far, I like the GR3, but I often need to crop to get the look that I want. So, spending $1000 for the GR3 to test out a fixed 28 worked better for me.

Sounds like you need a fast shooting autofocus Slr with a fast zoom lens. That is where you are headed. However, you could quit your gear head mentality and learn how to shoot two M cameras with 2 lens at a wedding. and get great results. How fast you can shoot multiple photos does not equal how good your photographs are. The quality of your photographs depends mostly on the quality of your eyes:your ability to see, compose and shoot. Your portrait photography does nothing to develop decisive moment photography needed at a wedding. . A great example Bresson. Really !!!

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Thanks John! Yes model stuff is very controlled and as perfect as I can make it (up for debate I’m sure ha) and weddings is ‘run and gun’ as they call it. Minimal control and yes all about the moment. I’ve shot 2 M bodies for weddings for a long time M8/M9 then later M8/M240 then M240/CL then SL/M240 as I bought newer bodies with better high iso. I like Ms for wides and SL for prime primes (50 f1 etc) and longer. Works well but sometimes when subject is walking and I’m moving too if I want to shoot at a fast aperture AF would be nice rather than higher f stop and zone focusing and often using off camera flash. Maybe it’s just an excuse to try another camera to test but I loved the close focus ability in particular. 0.7m on the M drives me nuts! Over the years I use close focus lenses like DR and 2.8 Elmar with Goggles but then once subject more than 1m need to swap camera. I used Voigtlander lenses at 0.5m with live view (35 1.2) and lots of gear to try to get around it. I’m hoping the Q will mean use less kit and enjoy the day. Yes M are not designed to be shot close or pin sharp but I need the camera that lets me create the images in my head not limit myself to what famous photographers did. As I shoot film too I’ve tried SLR plus AF lenses, too slow so went back to M3! (Nikon F4/5). And agree shooting 4000 crappy images on a wedding day doesn’t help anyone. Clients have always been happy but I’m always looking to improve. (I said the Paul guy was nice and shot fast, I didn’t say I envied his images. It was a completely different style to mine). Less precise. Cheers.

[@johnelder7449]

My point is that you need to practice decisive moment photography in a forum other than just weddings if you want to get really good with a Leica M camera. Your portrait photography does not give you that practice. You have to shoot many events to learn how to anticipate a photo opportunity about to happen. A fast camera is not the answer at weddings.
