Pros: You have in your hand an object that is the history of photography .... image quality in BN that only the monocrhom sensor can provide. Almost like the old analog film

Cons: the price, but it is known that at these levels nothing is cheap. Perhaps not very ergonomic in the handle (can be improved with a body or bracket)

Opinion: first impressions are of an exceptional overall quality. Now I photograph for 90% in BN so for me it was a natural step to get to the monocrhom sensor and I must say that at the moment the expectations have all been well placed in Q2M. I would like to avoid post-production activity as much as possible and it seems to me that the return files of Q2M are perhaps the right way to limit this exercise as much as possible.

Pros: Construction and materials

Cons: Price and electronic viewfinder

Opinion: A Leica is Leica with its beautiful optical viewfinder, in my opinion. I would like to say, then, that the photos posted in my opinion do not do so much honor to his majesty Q2: I think that a bit of good post-production to adjust the contrast curve would not hurt. I do not understand the comment that praises the dynamic range but emphasizes the ease of "burning" the highlights ..... so to what extent is a good dynamic range?

Pros: File quality, compactness, general ergonomics, retro feeling, high ISO tightness, high resolution, possibility of customization, quality of the viewfinder

Cons: right-hand adjustment ring not very ergonomic, relatively low autonomy, non-recoverable highlights

Pros: aesthetics, materials and top construction, dynamic range, shadow recovery, high ISO, stabilization, AF, tropicalization

Cons: ergonomics, uncomfortable right "wheel", total lack of microphone sockets, headphones and USB even for downloading images, ease of burning high lights like all monochromes

Opinion: Bought a couple of weeks after her announcement I got to try it "on the road" in different outings and various situations. It is a full-fledted Leica Q2 but without "veils", in the sense that the absence of the Bayer filter allows the newborn to reach levels of sharpness, image cleanliness and incredible dynamic gamma values, I can assure you. As far as high ISOs are concerned, we are at very high levels of reduction, but since we are not being led to push these performance too high, I reserve the right to check this aspect calmly over time. What instead represents "the danger" always lurking is the ease with which you can burn the high lights, but I was already aware of this because it is a feature common to other monochromes that over the years I have been able to try. So, watch out! With the Q2M the high lights are not recovered. If they went, they went. With shadows, however, it is not a problem, quite the contrary. The recovery is formidable. I can confirm, however, that the B/N it returns is magical, full of detail and never unnatural. Just by trying it you understand what I'm saying. It is certainly not a common machine or for all occasions. With the Q2M, a precise choice is obviously made, as on the other hand by choosing the 28mm despite the frames at 35, 50 and 75 (but only for jpegs). The aesthetics and materials used, as expected, are at the highest levels, nothing comparable to the cameras I have had over time. Beware of the smallest details, essentials and functionality. Everything that made me decide for the final choice. Among the things that I find between the cons (but which I understand within the minimal Leica logic) is the lack of any USB socket, microphone attachment or headset. The right wheel is a bit uncomfortable and hard and you struggle to "feel" it quickly when you are taken from the scene with your eye in the crosshairs, but then you get used to it. Stabilization is exceptional and allows shots at unthinkable times. And then tropicalization, macro mode, upgraded battery and spectacular viewfinder. Finally, I obviously do not talk about the price, the various forums opened on this topic are many and varied and often full of clichés and banalities of all kinds. Those who approach Leica know from the beginning what brand it is and know a minimum its history. Rating: 9.5
