Project Description
The Leica Q2 built on the success of the original Q, shaped directly by user insight and feedback. Weather sealing became the most requested feature, and integrating it drove significant design refinements, from the leatherette’s geometry to the diopter dial, button layout and controls. Like its predecessor, the Q2 was designed to feel like a true instrument, inviting creativity while offering an even more distilled and deliberate expression of the Q’s character. It reinforced Leica’s position as a brand that listens while staying true to its identity, establishing the foundation for what has become the enduring legacy of the Q series. In a niche market, the Q2 continued to exceed expectations, proving that thoughtful evolution can define an entire category.
