Leica Q2 Reporter

Q2 | Reporter
With Aramid Fibre Armouring

• Matte green finish
• Without the Leica dot on the front

With the Leica Q2 Reporter, the company continues a long tradition of cameras that are specifically geared towards the challenging working environments of reportage and press photographers. Instead of the traditional leather trim, the design variant feature a protective ‘body armour’ made of Aramid Fibre, a synthetic material also used in high-grade protective clothing. The Aramid Fibres become slightly more raised over time, which further improves the photographer’s grip on the camera. This improved protection is combined with a more discreet design and a special matte green finish, which is particularly scratch and abrasion-resistant. All technical features and performances are identical to the serial Leica Q2 camera.

Expand your creative potential

New 47.3 mp sensor and extended digital zoom

The Leica Q2 features a newly developed 47.3 megapixel full frame sensor that captures both richly-detailed still pictures and 4K video in brilliant quality at ISO sensitivities up to 50,000.

The combination of the fastest lens in its class and the high sensor resolution expands the flexibility available for subject composition and, thanks to the integrated digital zoom function, also enables you to choose subject framing corresponding to focal lengths of 28, 35, 50, and 75 mm while always preserving the original 47.3 megapixel resolution image from the full sensor in DNG raw format.

Brave the elements

Get the shot every time, anywhere

The new Leica Q2 is the only camera in its class to feature protective sealing against dust and water spray. This means that it can brave even the most unfavorable weather conditions without the need for any additional protective measures. Shoot anywhere at any time without second thoughts and concentrate fully on what really matters – getting the perfect picture.

One lens, limitless potential

Primed for perfection, day or night

The fast maximum aperture of f/1.7 is ideal for capturing the world with your subject standing out in incredible sharpness while the background blurs into a beautiful void, and guarantees you outstanding imaging performance in even the most difficult lighting situations.

With its digital zoom of up to 75 mm, the Leica Q2 can make a perfect companion for street photography as well as shooting architecture, landscapes, and portraits. 

A simple turn of the integrated macro mode dial on the lens quickly pulls the Leica Q2’s close-focus distance down to just 17 cm to capture close-up shots with razor sharp precision, while right beside it is a locking focus ring for instantaneous switching between manual and auto focus modes.

A clear view at all times

With the new OLED viewfinder

The newly developed, high-resolution OLED viewfinder has a resolution of 3.68 megapixels. The high resolution provides an ideal view and live preview of your subject at all times, with improved image depth and higher contrast. Surpassing the previous generation’s LCD EVF technology, the brightness of each individual pixel in the OLED viewfinder of the Q2 is independently controlled – yielding improved contrast and color depth. Power consumption remains low even with the strength of the high-resolution EVF. 

The viewfinder is activated as soon as the camera is brought up to the eye and shows the subject reliably and without any perceptible delays. The new Leica Q2 also offers a unique and intuitive handling concept, such as its redesigned push-button diopter setting dial on the back of the camera that prevents inadvertent shifting of the compensation value.

High speed performance

Capture fleeting moments with unparalleled precision

To ensure you never miss a treasured moment, the Leica Q2 boasts an autofocus system that sharply focuses on your subject in 0.15 seconds, the fastest in its class.  With its high-speed burst shooting rate of an impressive 10 frames per second at the full resolution of 47.3 MP, the Leica Q2 is built to capture what you want, whenever you need.

Push your creativity beyond still-images

Alternatively, video footage can also be captured in the familiar full-HD format with 120, 60, 30, or 24 frames per second.
