LEICA Q2 MANUAL

It is equally at home as a fully manual street camera, or as an automatic point-and-shoot.

Yes, the Leica Q2 is expensive вЂ“ but if you want the absolute in luxury cameras, this is it. and based on our brief hands on we can already feel that that the Q2 is a new love in our life. The Leica Q is one of our favorite compact cameras. The original Leica Q will be discontinued.

Other bespoke accessories include an optional thumbrest or handgrip. The Leica Q2 goes on sale immediately, and will retail for ВЈ4,250 / $4,995.ДЄ range of leather cases - in red, tan or black - will be available for the Q2. It is little touches, such as a new diopter correction dial вЂ“ which you press to pop out, if you need to adjust the EVF to the vagaries of your own eyesight. But with this camera, you feel that they have gone much further with this. Leica has a deserved reputation for beautifully machined cameras, with dials that feel like they have had the hand craftsmanship that gives the company its luxury status. The focus ring simply has an AF position on it, just beyond infinity.ДЄs well as this focus ring, and the mechanical aperture ring, there is also the macro ring, which when engaged allows you to focus from 0.17m to 0.3m вЂ“ although with such a wide lens, you don't get a particularly impressive magnification ratio. But it is the ease with which you can switch to manual (and back) that is the real pleasure. The macro facility allows you to focus manually or with AF, down to 17cm.ДЄutofocus is fast and responsive вЂ“ and as we have previously said there is a good range of autofocus options to shoot with (including Multi point, One Point, Tracking, Face Detection, Touch AF).
