Hi people. Just got my leica Q today at London. I know the leica Q is great for street photography and landscape. After searching through hundreds of Google post I can't seem to find anything regarding leica Q on Astro photography or on the northern lights. Does that means our leica Q can never shoot the northern lights no matter what lens we can equip on our Q?

 

Please advice

Hi. Thanks for the help. But with our fix lens on the Q what lens should we get to be able to Astro and northern light photographs?

Sorry, but yor question is hard to understand. Given that the lens is built into the Q and can not even be detached, the question of which lens to choose for the Q seems rather meaningless.

Hmm, I'm quite new to this fixed lens and I didn do much research. Are we able to convert or attach another lens for the northern lights? Or the leica with the fixed lens will do just fine?

[pop]

No, you can not take off the lens. You can not attach another lens. You can even not buy another lens for the Q because you could not mount it on the Q. That's why it is called a "fixed lens".

 

If you are happy taking shots of the northern lights with a quite capable 28mm lens, then the Q is exactly what you need.

Alex, are you saying that you spent £3500 on a camera with fixed lens and you havent got a clue what a fixed lens camera is?
