A Refined Design & Kit for Leica's Celebrated Compact
The Leica Q-P matches the critically acclaimed technical specifications of the ongoing Leica Q and pushes the design further forward to new heights of stealthiness and refinement. With its fast Summilux 28mm f/1.7 lens, easy and intuitive handling, the Leica Q-P gives the photographer the creative freedom that makes the difference.
The Leica Q-P replaces the front-facing red Leica dot logo with the classic script logo engraving on the top plate, favoring a more discreet look and aesthetic – a staple of "P" models from Leica, both vintage and new alike. The new "stealth" paint finish in a high-resistance flat matte black gives the camera an even darker black look and subtle textured feel. As a noticeable hardware advancement that improves ergonomics and handling, the shutter release and on/off switch have been redesigned and upgraded to a similar style to the current M and CL cameras, giving users a better and more positive tactile feedback when taking pictures or switching drive modes. Elegantly contrasting the all-black the camera is an adjustable-length high-quality brown leather strap, exclusive to this Leica Q-P package which also includes a second rechargeable battery.
