95 out of 100 medium confidence 20 reviews
The Leica Q2 Monochrom is overwhelmingly praised for its exceptional black-and-white image quality, robust build, and intuitive controls. Users highlight its stunning low-light performance, sharp 28mm lens, and the liberating experience of focusing solely on contrast and structure. A few minor concerns about early autofocus issues have been resolved with firmware updates, and the high price is noted but accepted for the quality.
