Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is there IBIS in this Leica Q2 Monochrom? There is absolutely no mention of it in the description or company literature.

A: The Leica Q2 Digital Camera and the Leica Q2 Monochrom Digital Camera both have optical image stabilization. This is optical stabilization in the lens, and is not what is typically referred to as IBIS (In-body image stabilization). IBIS refers to stabilization where the camera sensor itself moves slightly to counter any camera shake. Optical Stabilization works by shifting an element or multiple elements in the lens to compensate for camera shake. Both serve the same purpose. So while the camera does not have IBIS, is it still optically stabilized.

Q: 2. What is the screw in hole on the right side of the grip? What function does it provide?

A: A finger loop can be attached there for greater stability using the handgrip: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/894863-REG/Leica_14647_Finger_Loop_For_Multi_Function.html

Q: 3. Is the attachment screw a "captive" type screw?

A: The screw on the Leica Q2 Handgrip is non removable and always remains attached to the grip.

Q: 4. When removing the grip (to change battery, etc), does the strap require removing also?

A: The strap does not need to be removed.

Q: 5. Can you manually set your aperture and shutter speed, and then ask the camera to set the ISO? If so, is the resulting ISO visible in the EVF?

A: Yes, Auto ISO information is displayed in the bottom left corner and compensates for your aperture/shutter speed changes. ISO information is also embedded in the EXIF data.

Q: 6. How well does this grip fit on the camera. Will it leave any marks on the original body? I want to make sure my original camera body doesn't have any indentations or scratch lines from using the grip over time.

A: There is no issue when using this grip on the camera, regarding marks or indentations, etc...

Q: 7. What is base ISO for the Q2 monochrome? Is it 50 (where the SN ratio seems lowest) or 200 (which I saw in a review somewhere)? Or other? I love shooting at lowest ISO without pushing for best image quality.

A: The native ISO on the Leica Q2 Monochrom Digital Camera is 100-100000. You can set the iso to 50-500000. but that is pushing it and it is best to stay with in the native iso for best results.

Q: 8. Can you screw in a color filter without having to unscrew the metal lens shade?

A: It might be a bit difficult, but you can put in a filter without having to remove the lens hood.

Q: 9. Does the hand grip attached to the Leica Q2 fit into a Billingham 72 bag?

A: According to our data, a Leica Q2 with the Q2 Handgrip, should measure approximately in camera height 3.5", which is what Billingham has listed as their internal bag depth (which should be equal or less than 3.5", when positioning the camera into the bag as they picture - camera on its side, which would take the camera's height measurement for the bag's depth). We do not carry the Billingham 72 camera bag, but according to our data, the Leica Q2 with Q2 handgrip, should just fit, though it may be a tight fit.

Q: 10. How do video files compare with type 246 ones?

A: The Leica Q2 Monochrom Digital Camera can shoot 4k video. So, that alone will be better than the Leica M Monochrom (Typ 246) for video. The Q2 has way more resolution and can shoot much better in low light.
