Announced: Leica Q2 “Reporter” and Leica Q2 Monochrom “Reporter” cameras

By LR admin | Published: November 4, 2021

The previously rumored Leica Q2 “Reporter” and Leica Q2 Monochrom “Reporter” cameras are now officially announced – this is why Leica invited a bunch of influencers to Wetzlar. I still have a theory that Leica had planned this event for the M11 a long time ago and then decided to delay the announcement. It is hard for me to believe that all those people were invited to Wetzlar just for a limited edition camera, but I could be wrong.

The Leica Q2 Reporter will be available from December 9, 2021 at a price of €5,550. The Leica Q2 Monochrom Reporter will be released in March 2022 – only 350 pieces will be produced (priced at € 5,950).

Here are the details on the new Leica Q2 “Reporter” and Leica Q2 Monochrom “Reporter” cameras:
