Hi Everyone , I have found on Ebay this eyecup that solves the problem of extrenuous light that can leak into the viewfinder that can be distracting. I seem to have this problem a lot ,not sure if it is because I shoot left eyed but this fixes the problem. I have read some people have had problems with the rubber surround getting damaged or needing replacement .This fits perfect over the outer viewfinder so instead of replacing the whole viewfinder unit this would solve the problem cheaply. The eyecup is advertised for Q3 but it fits perfectly on Q2. Cost was around $30 Australian. Hope this helps Cheers Phil Addition by the admin: Available here at Amazon for 19$ / 16 € Amazon US, Amazon DE JJC Camera Long Eye Cup Eyecup Soft Eyepiece for Leica Q343 / Q3

I've noticed my Q2 often (25%-35% of the time) will capture TWO identical images in rapid succession with a SINGLE squeeze of the shutter release. Naturally, I've ensured that the exposure mode is in SINGLE and not in multiple, continuous, or bracketing modes. This is becoming annoying (and wasteful of storage space), not to mention sometimes confusing (especially on those occasions when I AM bracketing exposures, and instead of 3 or 5 nicely bracketed exposures, I end up with 4 or 6 bracketed images, two of which are identical in exposure). Again, I've repeatedly confirmed that I'm in single-shot mode, and most of the time, the camera correctly takes a single exposure, as commanded. However, a significant minority of the time (25%-35%), TWO identical images are produced with a SINGLE click of the shutter release. Is anyone else experiencing this, and if so, are there any solutions short of returning the camera for repairs/replacement? P.S. I also own and have exposed thousands of images with the Q, and never experienced this issue. -
I am the happy owner of a Q2 reporter I have been using along with my M10M and SL(601) and my film Ms. My M10M is my main camera as of today. Sometimes I lack color (but not that often). I enjoy the fast response, weather sealing, wide aperture of the Q2, though it is a bit too wide for most of my photography (which is not so much of a problem as it is easy to crop given the MPix). I am wondering if I should not seize an opportunity to sell it and replace with a M11-P to finally get a color digital M again… My girls are no longer toddlers, and I can more easily live without AF (and probably be faster without sometimes), and choosing among my lenses to adapt to the situation would be nice… comments and advice welcome

Leica Q1 - even more attractive in 2024
TinovanDyke1 posted a topic in Leica Q3 / Leica Q2 / Leica Q
Recently the use case for a Q was given. I read and consumed multiple reviews for Leica Q1-3. Money for value of course played a role, but in the first line I was interested in the best for my purposes. All are great, but to my impression Q1 is the most original and comprehensive with the best ergonometry and also best price to offer value. Just to look at the 5 buttons in a vertical row on the left. Thats Leica at its best. Special designed sensor. Q2 is sealed, has 48mpix without binning and an obviously worse low light capability. Better Video and slow motion, which is nice, but however nothing for me. Q3 sealed, 60mpix with binning, improved video capabilities, low light still not quite Q1 but better than Q2. Great, but comparing footage of Sony and Q3 makes me feel sad. Almost equal, no Leica feel like Q1 and, however less, Q2. Those Leica-luts of Q3 make it even much worse. Wonderful full size sensor compact camera with a great lens, but only minor Leica feeling left. I was grasping for any argument in favour of Q3, because I had been waiting for it, but in the end this apparently "dead" Sony sensor made me turn away and get the wonderful balanced, highly Leica like Q1, new and waiting years for me in a Leica Store showcase. What do you think about "Leica Feeling" related to Q1, 2 or 3 and the special Leica Look image quality?- 31 replies

I have not used jpeg for so long I cannot remember - at least 30 years. I do, however, need to photograph several black hifi units (CD player, amps etc) and two sets of speakers. I am going to use jpeg (I want better than my iPhone but also want to play with jpeg on the Q2 as I have never used such on this camera). I also do not want to spend too much time on pp. The items will all be posted to on line sites for sale. I have moderate lighting (single flash and small Manfrotto Lumimuse 6) but would prefer natural light. Any tips / tricks as to using jpeg? I do not usually shoot product but want to make the photos look better than the average punter ones.

I'm sure this has been discussed many times, but I can't find any reference to it. What does the Q actually stand for> -

A post by another forum member got me thinking, so I thought I'd do a quick test of how the various jpeg settings affect the final output, and whether they could really be compared to film simulations, recipes or similar offered by other camera platforms. I couldn't seem to find a way to jam all the test content into a single post, so threw a page up on my website. I've never done this type of test before so there could be some things I've overlooked. Hope it comes across as intended as well as useful in some ways.... https://phil1066photography.com/photography-projects/leica-q2-jpeg-testing/

We have a significant number of Leica photographers who bemoan the fact that the Q camera users are "stuck" with a 28mm lens. this video showcases the powerful and compelling capability of the Q camera's 28mm f/1.7 Summilux lens.
