Leica Camera is excited to announce a brand new groundbreaking addition to the storied Leica Monochrom family of cameras. The Leica Q2 Monochrom bridges the gap between technical innovations and modern features to the historic legacy of black and white photography tracing back through Leica’s heritage. This full frame compact camera is made with a dedicated monochrome sensor – bringing with it much of the fan-favorite features of the Leica Q2 with welcome refinements to its design and style.
Monochrome Sensor

Amazing sharpness, detail and resolution combines with a higher dynamic range to give photographers the best black and white image quality that is more accessible and approachable than ever before thanks to the easy-to-use, fast auto-focusing Q2 Monochrom. 47.3 megapixels reproduce the finest structures and low noise.
Capture Stills and 4K Video
The expanded ISO range of 100-100,000 with the Summilux 28 f/1.7 lens enables photographers to capture stills and 4K video in any light, and all the amazing functionality improvements of the Q2 – such as weather sealing and the OLED viewfinder – encourage users to bring the Q2 Monochrom anywhere and tackle any task.
Matte Black and Monochromatic Design
Inspired by the design elements established with the M10 Monochrom, the Q2 Monochrom is painted with a matte black finish and all engravings are filled in with only gray, white, or black. The omission of the Leica red dot logo keeps the design elegantly subdued and stealthy.
Weather Sealing and Other Features
The Q2 Monochrom, like the Q2 it is based on benefits from IP 52-rated weather sealing against dust and spray water. Additionally, it shares the same crisply detailed OLED electronic viewfinder, impressive battery life (BP-SCL4 battery), manually-controllable 4K video recording, Leica FOTOS connectivity with Wi-Fi/Bluetooth and intuitive menu system.
