Update: Leica Q3 Monochrom on October 16th, Leica M EV1 on October 23rd
A new Leica Q3 Monochrom camera is rumored to be announced next month (October 2025). Most likely, this will be a 28mm lens version, but we could also see a 43mm Monochrom version later (maybe in 2026). I believe Leica will release both focal lengths for the Monochrom line.
There will be multiple Leica announcements in October. Stay tuned for updates. If you have any information about upcoming products, please feel free to contact me anonymously here.
