Leica Q3 Monochrom

CameraMade in Germany202519200

Thirteen years after the first M Monochrom, Leica applied the same idea to its most popular camera line: remove the color filter array entirely. The Q3 Monochrom's 60-megapixel sensor captures only luminance, gaining sharpness, high-ISO latitude, and the tonal depth that made the M Monochroms a cult.

It pairs the fixed 28mm Summilux with a body stripped of the red dot — the first Monochrom that doesn't require learning a rangefinder.

The Q3 Monochrom applies the fixed-lens Q3 concept to a monochrome-only sensor — 60MP with no color filter array for maximum luminance resolution and a film-like quality in black and white.
