Anyone use Q2 for Microstock or professional work?

Hi,

Nearly close to getting my first Leica, the Q2. Currently use the X-Pro2 with some primes, mainly as a hobby however I do upload images to stock agencies which helps pay for my camera gear.

Just wondering if any other Q/Q2 users use this camera for similar work? I don't do portrait, sports or wildlife photography in general, so the fixed prime on the Q does not really bother me.

Thanks

With a full-frame sensor and stellar glass, the Q2 is extraordinarily capable. The detail in a properly exposed photograph is outstanding, and the data size meets even the most extreme stock specifications. If the fixed 28mm isn’t a limitation to your style and subject matter, a good fit for the role.

Replace your memory cards with FAST chips — the camera’s write speed is ravenous, and slower cards will negatively affect your shooting cadence.

The Leica Q3 is available for pre-order at B&H Photo Video and Adorama

I do most of my commercial work with the SL2 + 90mm SL and the Q2. Great combination for corporate and portrait sessions.
