Leica Q2

Name: Q2
Brand: Leica
Availability: InStock

The Leica Q2 raised the fixed-lens full-frame concept to 47.3MP — enough resolution to crop into 28mm, 35mm, 50mm and 75mm equivalent frames in-camera. Built to IP52 weather resistance, the Q2 is the choice for photographers who want maximum image quality in a compact, rugged package.

GearFrame's Take

The most capable fixed-lens full-frame camera at its launch. Leica quality without compromise.

✅ Great For

🌆

Street 6.5 Strong on its 28mm lens, discreet body and viewfinder. 28mm equivalent, 47.3MP, and a weather-sealed body — a supreme fixed-lens camera for deliberate street work.

⚠️ Not Ideal For

📷

Casual 3.6 Held back by portability and value for money.

🔬

Macro 3.6 Held back by its 28mm lens and in-camera focus stacking.

🧑

Portrait 3.9 Held back by autofocus and its 28mm lens. Scored down: fixed wide prime for portraits.

📝 How suitability scores are calculated GearScore™ genre scores are calculated from this camera's verified specifications — autofocus, sensor, weight, weather sealing and more — weighted by what matters for each type of photography. Where a spec sheet misses something (e.g. a manual-focus rangefinder for street), we apply a documented editorial adjustment. Scores are not based on customer reviews. See our full methodology →
