LEICA Q3 MONOCHROM

Storytelling using light and shadow

The second-generation Leica Q full-frame camera features a dedicated monochrome sensor for exceptional black-and-white photography.

Choosing to shoot in black and white is choosing a timeless way of seeing — one shaped only by light, shadow, and the emotion they create together. Without the pull of colour, your attention settles on the subject, the structure, and the mood of the moment. The Leica Q3 Monochrom, with its dedicated monochrome sensor, brings this experience to life in its purest, most powerful form.

One Sensor, for Black and White Only

Without shadow there is no light; without light there is no black-and-white photography. Equipped with a dedicated 60 MP monochrome sensor and Triple Resolution Technology, the Q3 Monochrom intentionally forgoes colour filters, resulting in image quality that is distinguished by exceptional richness of detail. Capture images at 60, 36 or 18 MP resolution with outstanding dynamic range and superb noise performance, or record video in up to 8K resolution with remarkable sharpness and clarity. Even in challenging lighting conditions, the mood of the moment can be captured faithfully, without distortion.
