Advertisement Posted January 9 Posted January 9 Hi Lew, Take a look here Q3 Monochrom. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
bobtodrick Posted January 9 Share #2 Posted January 9 Where did this come from. I can find absolutely nothing on this after an extensive web search. Can you supply a REPUTABLE link. Someone who heard it from a friend of my uncle isn’t reputable. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lew Posted January 9 Author Share #4 Posted January 9 Thanks, but the "official" product release date somewhere in the forum (I think) is sometime 2027. Since the bw converted sensor and electronics are the same as the already released M11m, I don't get it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegobi Posted January 9 Share #5 Posted January 9 Is a Q3 Mono even likely? The M11 has that historical film/rangefinder connection to the past but the Q has one foot in the future—will Leica Looks be the new Mono? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
db24fps Posted January 9 Share #6 Posted January 9 Do we have any clue was to how well the Q2Mono sold? I can't decide whether it's more logical for them to do a Q3Mono or a Q3P next. I know they skipped doing a Q2P, but a Q3P with the larger internal storage capacity and content authentication carried over from the M11-P might be the more worthwhile endeavour. Of course, both a Q3P and a Q3Mono would be welcome. Until the Q3 itself becomes readily available at retail and Leica have fulfilled demand then it's hard to imagine a variant coming to market though.

Lew Posted January 9 Author Share #7 Posted January 9 Advertisement (gone after registration) I don't know anything about sales, but since the sensor jiggle is ported directly from the 11 Mono, and the form factor seems unchanged from the q2... why wait? Don't they see I need this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't read anything in this forum or elsewhere that mentions an official release date. There will probably be a Q4 by 2027, and no, that's not official 😂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And by 2027 there will be the M12. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksrhee Posted March 6 Share #10 Posted March 6 (edited) If the Q2 and the M11 are any indication, I expect Q3 M to be announced sometime around November this year. Edited March 6 by ksrhee Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhasman Posted March 6 Share #11 Posted March 6 Monochrom is always "alike but b&w", follows color body, MM vs M, QM vs Q. Wish - for sure, not happening - Leica risks playing sideway, releasing Q3M anyhow deferent... maybe keeping non-flip screen but showing new 35mm lens... yeah, in my dreams, I know Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
