Leica Q Series

Leica's full-frame fixed-lens compact — the definitive luxury street camera.

The Leica Q series combines a full-frame sensor with a fixed Summilux 28mm f/1.7 lens in a compact, beautifully built body. The Q2 brought a 47.3MP sensor and weather sealing; the Q3 added a fully articulating screen and improved autofocus while retaining everything that made the Q2 a classic.
