Leica Q2

Leica was kind enough to send me a Q2 to play with for a couple weeks. The Q2 is their followup to the cult classic 28mm fixed-frame Q that launched back in 2015. I remember being in London the day the original Q was announced and I rushed over to Leica Mayfair to check it out. I ended up purchasing one for myself a few months later once they were able to be purchased through the stores after being sold out for months.


Fast forward to 2019 when Leica announced the highly anticipated Q2. How does one make something so great even greater? Leica decided to develop a new sensor with a higher resolution sensor, add better weather sealing, and a host of other practical enhancements that make the camera even more pleasant to use. As soon as I received the Q2 in the mail, I took it out to a Porsche event I frequent to capture some of the cool classics that make their way through it. Despite being a wide angle lens at 28mm, the Q2 also excels at macro photography which you can see in some of the photographs of watches towards the end.
