Leica Q3 Monochrom
With its special black-and-white sensor, the Leica Q3 Monochrom distils photography to its purest form: where composition is shaped solely by light and shadow. The fast Summilux 28 f/1.7 ASPH. lens, paired with a 5.76 MP OLED viewfinder and a tilting touch display, creates a crystal-clear view of your subject. The 60 MP monochrome sensor with Triple Resolution Technology (60, 36, 18 megapixels) captures photos and videos in outstanding quality, even at high ISO settings. Its design fuses the Q family’s modern look with minimalist monochrome aesthetics. Crafted in Germany from the finest materials, the Q3 Monochrom features a unique user interface for intuitive, convenient operation. Thanks to its fast connectivity with the Leica FOTOS App, it integrates seamlessly into the mobile workflow of everyday creative practice.
