Leica Q2 Monochrom camera additional coverage (hands-on reports, reviews, and more)





Leica Q2 Monochrom hands-on review at B&H (with sample photos).


Reddotforum (with sample photos): along with the introduction of the Q2 Monochrom, Leica will now offer orange, yellow and green color filters in 49mm filter size. Unlike a color digital camera where color channels can be mixed to produce different B&W rendering during conversion, the Q2 Monochrom sensor only captures in grayscale. By using color filters, you can change the contrast and tonality of the image during capture. Here’s a quick rundown of what each filter does:

  • Green filter – Darkens warm tones and lightens green
  • Yellow filter – Blue skies are darkened, warm tones and greens are lightened slightly
  • Orange filter – Blue skies darkened more, while warm tones and skin colors are lightened more.


The new Leica Q2M has an optional handgrip: B&H Photo | Leica Store Miami.
