I have the M10 Monochrom, and what amazes me with these monochrome sensors is how flexible they are for editing at high ISO. I was editing an image at ISO 40,000 recently, and it was only at the end that I checked the ISO I had been working at - I thought I had been working with a file that was around ISO 4,000! (and it was 1 1/3 stops underexposed)!

thanks for the amazing video! Love your shots with the monochrome.

Great video! I love my Leica Q2M. I remember your Mexico videos. However, I truly enjoyed your night shooting in St. Petersburg.

Very cool! I spent last weekend in Berlin with my Q2 and I will for sure convert most to BW. Thank you as always for your video post!

Awesome video and stunning photos! Well done!

Best Q2M review I've seen yet.

Great, legit review...thanks for posting up...I subscribed to your channel. For the last 5 years I have been shooting Sony and recently integrated the Fujifilm GFX100S into my workflow and luv the high res cropping. Also, I luved the Fujifilm menu system so I bought the X100V that you mentioned. OMG....what a fun travel camera! So, with your review I see this Q2 Monochrom as my next discreet travel camera. I totally agree with your opinion that having less options provides a more attuned shooting experience which I learned with the X100V.

Thanks for the review. I purchased my Q2M this past summer and at first had buyers remorse-- only because of the high price tag. But these past few months have convinced me that it was the right decision. It has changed the way I see the world; ntm, rekindled my love of photography. Really appreciate your guidance on how to get the most of this camera.

Awesome shots! Thank you!

Great shots!

Thanks a lot for your video, Robin! 10:32 One more thing that can be improved on Q2M is making "Zoom/lock" button programmable, ie giving a user full control of what function to assign to this button.

Thanks you! I love your work! I shoot with an MP-240 right now but I want to get a Q just for street and daily life so the monochrome is intriguing

Excellent video! On top of that, you are a great shooter! I’m thinking about selling my many cameras and getting this one.

Great review

The grey scale of Q2 Monochrom is so smooth and the performance of high ISO is great

Some nice photos.

I have often said there are but two things that can make me cry...something which is really right or something which is truly good...after only a few months using this camera, I say the Q2m is both really right and truly good...cheers Robin, thanks for videos

Nice! I almost alway prefer b&w if i look my photos. I have set my m10 lcd to “monchrome” to see it like that but then ovf gives my color anyway. So maybe its time for m10>q2m. Great clean photos here is a prove to that.

I watch every one of your videos. Your views are exactly the same as mine. I have a Fujifilm X100V, but I only shoot B&W and with a 28mm wide angle front lens, and I'm really looking forward to the Q2 Monochrom so I can shoot at higher ISO and higher resolution, and to take my mind off the tech, and be all the more free of the situation in front of me.

It sounds like the Q2M might be the perfect tool for you! 👌🏼

great video thank you.

Really like the color grading in this video. What lens were you using / any hints on your color recipe? Thanks!

What you need to know is that Leica first worked on the lens and then developed the body around the lens. This 28mm is incredible at 1.7 even at full aperture we can see what is happening outside the sharpness zone, we can recognize a face even far from the sharpness zone. For the monochrome model, the sensor has no red-green-blue pixels, hence a large gray scale compared to a color sensor.

the one reason i would pick the q2-m over the m10-m is you get to see the live world in black and white in real time. apart from helping with exposure, tones and contrast, i just like looking at the world in black and white. atleast for a little while.

Quick question, the photo at 4:27 - that isn't straight out of the dng file but rather a lot of post production pulling up shadows or or or? Its just absolutely fantastic. If I thought I could somewhat routinely see that kind of dynamic range in low light, I might be very interested!

Spot on with your commentary, Robin, and thanks for your photo recap in so many locations. I loved how I was able to pick up my Q2M and start shooting, without spending a moment studying instruction manuals or videos - it's that intuitive. I always grab this over my M10-R when the light is low, because I know I can push the Q2M beyond the limits of any other camera I've owned, and I don't have to worry about colour shift with the monochrom sensor. I missed some (potentially) great photos in Monterrey because the Q2M switched from Photo to Video - I puzzled for an hour before I saw I changed it in the quick menu when I was trying to set exposure compensation. But aside from that, zero complaints. It's been amazing in the 7 months since I bought it. I only wish I'd been able to pick one up before I travelled south to Mexico last December. I tend to leave the 1/2 case at home in favour of the hand grip, and finally bit the bullet to get one for my M10-R.

I want, I can't afford so Ricoh 8.1 megapixel is my go to I set to B&W 800 iso with sharpness up a bit and contrast up a bit. £100 * well spent.

With the colour filters, particularly the red, did you meter without the filter and then apply the filter factor or did you just go ahead and meter with the filter in place on the lens?

With the Q2M, are you still using 1/1000, f/11, Auto, with manual focusing between 0.7-1m? Any changes?

That AFC tracking thing at 12:52 , I heard the tracking/AFC algorithm also uses the colour information on the Q2, the Monochrom can’t do that, so it doesn’t work as expected. I don’t have one myself, maybe they fixed it meanwhile in a firmware upgrade. The Q3 has phase detect, the Q3 Monochrom will most probably has it also. Besides, concerning the higher price of the Monochrom versions, it’s like you already said, lower production batch counts. The Q2 Monochrom has also a completely new designed sensor for its purpose, not only the Bayer layer removed. Because of the fixed focal length Leica made a special micro lens design, meaning each of the 47.3 million effective pixels (aka light sensors) have its own micro lens ensuring the light falls perpendicular on each single one what is a whole other angle at the edges as in the centre of the sensor.

I love this camera; it was fun to see your experience with it. It makes me want to use it some more! To add to the list of minor gripes, I think the proximity sensor that activates the EVF (in auto mode) is far too sensitive. It activates too readily, and then I have to exaggeratedly point it away from myself to get the rear panel to come back on. I have a function button set to switch displays, but that’s clumsy as well, because it cycles through too many modes. I’d rather it just toggled between EVF and LCD.

You have so much flexibility with a color raw. So many channels to play with when you convert to B&W. You take photos in daytime so I don’t see the use of a monochrome sensor. Then you have to use filters and all sorts of crap.

Gestures Mode on the touch screen changing settings, from photo to video mode? Maybe when you were in Mexico you wore less layers of clothing between you and the camera hanging around you neck. Layers of clothing create insulation between your skin and the touch screen. Possibly an answer to your settings changing. Lovely camera & photos. Way too expensive for me! 😩

I bought one because I love BW images. My home is littered with mostly those shots by myself and masters. Historically like many people, I shoot with say Sony A7Rxxx and then in Lightroom convert to BW when on the road. I wanted to force myself to only shoot with no choice so hence the Leica Q2M. I still struggle with the feeling like I am missing moments and choices - both with a fixed lens and color opportunities. An active or affluent life is about choices for sure -- but a simple wholesome equally or more happy life is the opposite. The camera takes life back to a simpler time -- this is how I would describe it and why I bought it. Can 95%+ people tell the difference in images between Sony converted and Leica Q2M? I say no. I would conclude by saying -- if you want to learn something new -- how to see a situation and shoot in BW, then there is no better tool for this. If you are not committed -- A Sony A7RIV is the answer for the same price with lenses.

@@therealsirrobin Does the normal Q2 case works with the monochrome version sir? I think they are the same body but Im worried they did some little change that make the cases incompatible :S thank you!

I seriously doubt that Leica developed a sensor for b&w, I think they took their existing sensor and removed the colour filters and then modified the image processing part of the software... And probably modified the software they already developed for the Leica M Monochrome so that it would work with the Q2. And if it is really a new sensor, they are likely to be able to add a colour filter for their next colour camera. As a photographer, owner of Leica M film cameras I grew up seeing used by my father and uncles (with medium formats etc), I understand the appeal of Leica but shoot with Canon cameras unless I want some of the old fashion charm of a Leica on a casual walk or weekend. And I also love B&W photography but, my questions are: why pay Leica prices when the others are as good or better (sorry I am a scientifically trained objective photographer)? And why a black and white camera when you can get almost the same quality from colour converted to black and white? And, just as a disclaimer I know that there are some noise and sensitivity advantages to not having colour filters (and image processing is much easier as there is no degaussing) and I have been tempted to buy one of these b&w cameras (Nokia or Leica) but have refrained to because I can get very very close to the quality by processing my colour images.

From what I understand the sensor on the Q2 Monochrom is the same as the Q2 but without the color array filter, there was no added development, so the price isn't justified. It is more expensive for the same reason that Leicas in general are expensive, exclusivity, period. I can understand why a lens can cost substantially more than another, but in this case the lens is the same as the Q2. The Q2 Monochrom makes no sense to me at this price point. Also it seems that you cannot disable the touch screen?

Fantastic review, but why do you hate my bank balance so much? ;)

And one more advantage: Only Leicas have built-in H.Y.P.E. module!

I have a problem where I always first see and focus on colors. I find it difficult to focus on other elements of photos. So I made my camera to process the images into b&w so I'm forced to see in b&w while shooting. The color info is still there in the raw file if I absolutely need it. I feel this is better than having pure mono sensor where you never can get the colors.

If you put a 50MP FF sensor on it, it would be better than ANY Leica camera on the market, at only one sixth the price!

This is the type of comment from someone who doesn't have enough money to buy a leica... he looks for excuses so that his grief is lighter in his life...

Excellent video! On top of that, you are a great shooter! I’m thinking about selling my many cameras and getting this one.
