Advertisement Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 Hi Klausb, Take a look here Will we see a Leica Q with 50mm or a Vario?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
38wadcutter Posted March 15, 2016 Share #2 Posted March 15, 2016 I sure hope so, I feel the Q 28mm is the tip of the iceberg for us and Leica. Just look at the incredible sales demand for a camera that's 9 months old. I think Leica would be very foolish to not expand the Q offerings.

DezFoto Posted March 30, 2016 Share #3 Posted March 30, 2016 I asked my Leica rep this once, and he told me that Leica had settled on 28mm because it was best compromise to get f/1.7 in a reasonably size lens, so he didn't foresee them doing longer focal lengths because the lens barrels would be too large. That being said, the x-vario has a pretty large lens for the size of the camera, and owners seem to really enjoy them. Maybe they will? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibramr Posted March 31, 2016 Share #4 Posted March 31, 2016 Greetings. I do not know, but the scenario of a 36 MP Q with Summicron 35mm f2 would be very attractive. And when you crop it for 50mm with 24 MP, the final result will be awesome indeed. Hope to see such a camera some time soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramosa Posted April 14, 2016 Share #5 Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) I'm hoping Leica announces either a Q50 or Q35 this fall. I'd be mighty tempted by either ... Edited April 14, 2016 by ramosa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Reading Posted October 8, 2016 Share #6 Posted October 8, 2016 I can't see why this shouldn't be possible. The zoom lens on the Digilux 2 was simply brilliant the movement was entirely internal. I would live a Q zoom to replicate this modus and become the ultimate Digilux 2 replacement. personally I prefer 24-70 rather than 28-90 as a zoom range.

Digilux 2 sensor 2/3" sensor vs. Leica "Q" with FF-sensor = 28-90mm zoom range impossible Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CYBORA Posted October 10, 2016 Share #8 Posted October 10, 2016 As far as I remember , a Leica representative said in an interview that Leica is happy with the success of the Q platform and has plans for the Q platform in the future, but didn't give any details on the specs or date. Apart from this, Leica wants to keep the Leica platform compact and this is why they released it with 28 mm 1.7f lens. Leica rep added that, Leica will manufacture another model ( 35 or 50 mm model ) when they find a way to make it compact with good performance according to the Leica standard. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonkerdog Posted October 10, 2016 Share #9 Posted October 10, 2016 I love everything about my Q, apart from its lens being fixed. If they made a Q Vario, I'd have two tomorrow. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick in CO Posted October 18, 2016 Share #10 Posted October 18, 2016 I'm hoping Leica announces either a Q50 or Q35 this fall. I'd be mighty tempted by either ... I would purchase a Q50 with either the Summicron or Summilux. I can't imagine a better travel camera. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted October 18, 2016 Share #11 Posted October 18, 2016 Digilux 2 sensor 2/3" sensor vs. Leica "Q" with FF-sensor = 28-90mm zoom range impossible Not impossible, but something like the SL zoom. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Reading Posted November 25, 2017 Share #12 Posted November 25, 2017 Digilux 2 sensor 2/3" sensor vs. Leica "Q" with FF-sensor = 28-90mm zoom range impossible Couldn't the keep it small if the range offered was say 24-50 or 21-50? I am not quite sure how this works, I can't buy in to a fixed focal length camera at this price bracket. I loved my Digilux 2 except the resolution and low light level performance. As a travel camera I think it was just great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leica seem to have decided that 24MP is the sweet spot for their FF sensors. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
