I'll be honest: I wasn't sure what to expect of the Leica Q3 Monochrom. While I admire the base Leica Q3, I'm not really a fan of the 28mm focal length as I find it a little limiting. It's curious, then, that what might be perceived as an even bigger limitation – the total absence of color – is what made this camera truly click for me.
I love street and reportage (though typically at 35mm or 50mm) and shoot the genres almost exclusively in black-and-white. And it's here, in this very specific (and very much Leica) context that my brain understands what this camera is and does.
