Leica Q2 Monochrom camera confirmed for November release, Leica M 35mm f/2.8 vintage/heritage lens rumored for Q2 of 2021

By LR admin | Published: October 17, 2020

I received several confirmations that the previously rumored Leica Q2 Monochrom camera will be announced by the end of the year – most likely in the second half of November (at one point the Q2 Monochrom was rumored to be announced in early 2021 and a possible delay is still a possibility).

I don’t have any updates on the release date of the Leica Q2 James Bond 007 limited edition camera since the movie was already officially delayed.

The previously rumored Leica M 35mm f/2.8 vintage/heritage lens will be released later, maybe in Q2 of 2021.
