Cpt... I spend a lot of time at 50mm...

Nov 11, 2020,04:22 AM
 


but I am drawn to the 28 and 100.
the new Q2 Monochrom has that in-camera crop feature...
plus tweaking to maximize the fixed lens results.

and when the Q1 came out I was impressed.

I will check the local big box store, but might have to visit
the Leica Boutique.  If the latter it make take some time as
I am not using public transport at the moment.

I am a little old school, so SLR / dSLR is a comfort zone but
my Fuji x100t is a 35mm equivalent fixed lens camera and I like using it...
So in principle the Q2 Mono would make any short list...

Looking forward to holding it in person.

Casey

Hi Casey...

It it looks very cool but realistically is it that much better in the real world than a good Nikon or Cannon with all the flexibility that they offer. Interested in your thoughts

I thought this was interesting... ...  

The Nikon Z7 also takes legacy lenses with an adapter...

 
 By: cshimokita : November 11th, 2020-13:23
so the Z series bodies have the flexibility to utilize most old F-Mount glass. interesting [paper] comparison... I haven't seen the Q2 Monochrom stats, but I assume they must be similar to the Q2... Casey .

Interesting ...

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : November 11th, 2020-14:02
I would like to try one.

Absolutely yes Casey,actually for me it is a huge plus for the Z body to be able to use my numerous F lenses

 
 By: Mike H : November 13th, 2020-14:58
The Q2 is for sure a fantastic camera, but as a longtime Nikon user fully equipped with a number of Nikkor and Zeiss lenses, the Z6/Z7 is definitely a better option for me (actually Z6 is on the way to be used as second body also for it is much more light...

If you shot

 
 By: Quan : November 11th, 2020-01:34
macro more, then APSC or micro 4/3 is the right choice

and give up that beautiful 50mm ; )

but no plan to spend on cam as still not dare go out to shot yet.....so wait for 9-12 months there will be plenty LNIB one for grab....Leica wont like my statement thou

I already have a Monochrome camera

 
 By: logan2z : November 11th, 2020-06:11
It's called an M-A loaded with Tri-X As much as I love shooting in B&W it would be a tough decision to buy a dedicated monochrome camera with a fixed 28mm lens for $6K.

Agree

The Q2 is really a marvel

 
 By: descartes1 : November 11th, 2020-06:41
This one interests me but I got the standard Q2 shortly before Covid and I haven’t been able to use it is much as I’d like. (No travel), so I I’m not really considering the monochrome. For what it’s worth, the Regular Q2 creates startling imagine in its m... 

As far as

 
 By: Quan : November 12th, 2020-22:07
my experience is that the monochrome render differently from it converted color siblings

Hmmm

 
 By: Jurry : November 11th, 2020-09:32
It's a great looking superb camera. But I doubt if the quality of the photos is that much better than those of a proper Nikon or Canon, to justify the price difference. Not to mention the flexibility the other brands offer. You would be able to obtain a N...

Wait till 3-6 months

 
 By: Quan : November 13th, 2020-22:19
later more honest review will be pop up

i'm quite interested and have also been offered the M10M LW edition with a slight discount...

 
 By: terbaboom : November 22nd, 2020-07:44
but i know for now, i'll still bring along a colour camera if i were to use a pure B&W camera and so, i'm quite happy to use my current camera in monochrome mode and shoot raw at the same time

Monochrom(e)
