In addition to the two new Q2 “Reporter” cameras, Leica made also two additional announcements at their event in Wetzlar:
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.

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:
