The Q3 Monochrom puts a dedicated 60MP black-and-white sensor behind the same Summilux 28mm f/1.7 ASPH lens and IP52-sealed body as the Q3. With no colour filter it reaches ISO 200,000 and still records 8K video, but it focuses by contrast detection only and battery life is a modest 302 shots. It is a specialist street and documentary camera for photographers who already know they only want black and white.
