Camera Overview — Leica Q2 Monochrom
Key Features — Leica Q2 Monochrom
47MP Full-Frame Sensor: The monochrome-only full-frame sensor captures exceptionally detailed black-and-white files with fine tonal gradation across the full image area.
Dedicated Monochrome Design: With no color filter array over the sensor, every pixel captures luminance data directly, resulting in higher resolving power and cleaner files than a color sensor converted to black and white.
ISO 100–100,000 Range: Wide native ISO range gives photographers flexibility to shoot in everything from bright daylight to low-light environments while retaining usable detail.
3.68MP OLED Viewfinder: The high-resolution electronic viewfinder runs at 60 Hz; frame rate should be verified against official Leica Q2 Monochrom specifications.
Fixed 28mm f/1.7 Lens: The integrated Summilux 28mm f/1.7 ASPH lens offers a wide aperture well suited to available-light photography and environmental portraiture.
In-Lens Optical Stabilization: Optical image stabilization built into the fixed lens helps reduce camera shake for sharper handheld results, particularly in lower light.

The Leica Q2 Monochrom is a full-frame mirrorless compact camera with a 47MP sensor dedicated entirely to black-and-white photography. Its color profiles — Monochrome (Black & White), Monochrome High Contrast, and Monochrome Toning — define a camera built with a single creative purpose in mind. The ISO range spans 100 to 100,000, and the contrast-detect autofocus system draws on 225 focus points for fast subject acquisition. Continuous shooting runs at up to 10 fps at full resolution.
The camera is housed in a magnesium alloy body measuring 130 x 80 x 91.9 mm and weighing 734g, with IP52 dust and spray water protection. The 3.68 million dot OLED electronic viewfinder operates at 120 Hz, while the 3.0-inch TFT LCD touchscreen offers 1,040,000 dots of resolution for menu navigation and image review. Video reaches 4K at 30p/24p and Full HD at up to 120p, all in Monochrome. Connectivity includes Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, with SD/SDHC/SDXC (UHS-II) card support. The BP-SCL4 battery is rated for 350 shots per charge.
