Some years ago I was hired to photograph a (important) persons fathers 75th birthday party in their huge mansion. I came equipped with my Canon cameras but was informed that the (important) person would prefer me to use their Leica cameras as my Canon system was not good enough. I didn’t argue but as soon as the (important) person left the building to attend a meeting ( which was very soon) I went back to using my Canons. When I came back to show the pictures not only could he not tell the difference but insisted that the change of cameras to Leica had made a vast difference. I think that says it all!

I recently got the Leica Q2 and I love it. I am a fast shooter at different events. I've had to slow down a little to let the camera catch up. I just shot a car show and was glad to see it could autofocus shiny metal surfaces without too much problem. I sometimes had to aim at the black tires to get it to focus or the engine if the hood was up. All in all, it did a good job focusing. The best thing about this camera is that I leave everything set to manual and because the three main settings are on top of the camera I can change something very fast without having to go into a menu and look around for what I want. I was constantly changing the f/stop for different situations and it was so fast to do then put it back to auto if I wanted, same with the shutter speed. I usually shoot with a Nikon D4 and a D810 and love those cameras because I can shoot fast with them. The Leica Q2 is a camera for getting up close to people and shooting slower but getting great results. It has a 47MB sensor which produces 87 to 89 MB DNG files. The JPG files set to large end up at about 12 MB.

The native ISO 50 is impressive. Most photographers are more interested with high ISO but very few know that low ISO offers greater dynamic range. Nearly all cameras have a native ISO 100. The mirrorless Nikon Z7 has native ISO 64 and is another exception too.

Plus, when you can shoot at an eighth of a second hand-held due to the OIS and the 28mm you can keep the ISO down for longer (unless you’re capturing action, but this isn’t really an action camera).

Naher1mne1utub High ISO numbers deteriorate seriously the dynamic range, the colors and add noise. Most serious photographers use tripods in order to avoid faster shutter speeds and keep the ISO number as low as possible. With ISO numbers between 50 to 800 the quality of jpeg photos is really good without any very obvious difference. The difference is apparent with the processing of raw photos. With raw photo very low ISO numbers permits the adjusting of the dynamic range without consequences. That is very important.

I borrowed a brand new M11 with 35mm lens a few days ago. I wanted to see what was so different about Leica and the always talked about ' Leica Look'. I have compared very detailed shots of the new M11, a Sony A7iii and Fujifilm XPro3. Aside from resolution, i seriously cannot fathom the extra $10000 price tag for the Leica. Sure the image is much higher in megapixels, but honestly all 3 cameras produced roughly the same quality photo. I appreciate that people like to purchase high end brands as they like prestige gear, but......i do not see it worth it. For anyone stuck on the fence about getting a Leica camera, I can honestly say that if you have the money do what you want. i have the money to purchase a few of these M11's but to be brutally honest I cannot see the any reason aside from image status to own one. i have tested dynamic range and processed the photos like any normal consumer would and I would bet nobody reading this could determine which camera made which photo. Note to newcomers, DO NOT get caught up in the leica hype. Like all other mirrorless bodies, they are just sensors and a lens like any other mirrorless camera. After shelling out $10,000 plus for a leica, you are kidding yourself if you think your photos are superior to anything else a fifth the price on the market.Sure if leica gave me a camera i would take it, but i am in no way paying that much money for something that delivers image quality on par with much much cheaper brands. Dont believe me?......rent one and see for yourself. I have leica raws I could tell you came from a sony a7iv and you would believe me. KZbinrs seem to pushing the Q2 at the moment, avoid it at all costs. You are not getting a camera that is superior in any way. Leica cameras do have once strength that none of the other brands have yet to achieve. Their bodies and lens drain your wallets very quickly with no noticeable benefit to the owner. Maintenance on leica is insanely offensive too along with accessories. I dare you to prove me wrong.

schumif1champ my Summarit from 1956 fits as tight as a modern Leica lens. There is no play in either lens. My Nikon F also has the same tolerance as does my Canon 1Dxii. But water still can get in the Leica or Nikon. Canon L lens usually have a rubber seal that is compressed when the lens is mounted. They also have rubber seal at different points in the lens construction. My Leica lens do not have seals at the focus or aperture ring. Nor do they have o seals at the front element. All points that water can get in. Ive had my Canon and a 400/2.8 in pouring rain but I would not use my Leica with Noctilux in the rain.

Nice review - none of the negatives were unknown to me which is a relief as I have my order in for a Q2 with one of the UK’s largest camera stores. I’m 59th in line and they’ve had 4 units so far! I’m in it for the shooting experience of my beloved M6, the perfection of a 28mm SUMMILUX (that I wouldn’t be able to afford on its own) and the crop-ability of the sensor. Seems like a winner to me.

There’s clearly a difference between the “photography distilled” experience of the M6 and a modern digital with an EVF, autofocus etc., but it’s going to be a lot closer than, say, my Sony RX100MkV or a Ricoh GRII. Why did you sell your Q, as a matter of interest?

Ammar Yasser Hmm. Yes, I suppose you’re right. But, I challenge you to ask yourself whether either of those cameras posses a soul? Can they whisper to the quiet, intuitive curiosities that purr silently in the heart? Can they cause sparks to pop and flitter and ricochet around the vast cavern of one’s creative genius? Do either radiate a certain... perhaps unnamable, maybe even intangible... warm and contagious glow? Or a sense of purpose-direct and certain-that is nudged gently into gear by Leica’s essential, bare, and minimal tactile form? Or, do these two consumer electronic products, filed in our collective conscious under “full frame mirrorless camera,” and made somewhere in the Far East by robots in factory #328,941,386... do they really, just, “take pictures”?

I use a lot my vintage lens ( 50 f1.2 ais , 24 F2 ais, 105 F2,5 ais ) with Zhongyi speedbooster and it's very efficient et nice rendition...and it work fine with new nikon mount lens too.

Do I understand it correctly that the Q2, like the Q, relegates half stops to the sub-dial? I wish they'd implement the Leica M style shutter dial with half stops.

What exactly is the point if these Leica’s other than being good at jpeg. You would think they would put the ultimate sensor into this for $5K but the cheaper competitors out way it by a bunch. For $5K I can get a Fuji Medium format.

yes but you have no lens. if you had a summilux to your medium format, it wont be 4500$, more 10 000 $.

Thanks! I had a chance to test it out and it's much better than I expected. Now is it worth $5,500? Honestly I'd rather buy a Fujifilm X-T3 combined with 2, 3 or even 4 of their best prime lenses for the same price as I'd get a better outcome

My Leica Q is not doing exposure compensation in the video mode (i.e +2 setting in photo looks fine, but the video looks incredibly dark). Do you have exposure compensation and autofocus working in the Leica Q2 in the video mode? Thanks.
