In mid-May, 2015 I had an opportunity to meet with Leica executives for a preview glimpse of the Leica Q, which was to be subsequently announced on June 10. This meeting was followed by a few days of shooting with a Q during a weekend visit to New York City. During the preview meeting I filmed an interview with Leica executives about the Q. This is seen immediately below, and runs for just over nine minutes. The opportunity to shoot with the new Leica Q was all-to-brief, since my New York visit was primarily a vacation, with quite a few personal obligations. Nevertheless it was enough time to get the measure of the Leica Q, if not to wring every last nuance from it. The Leica Q is that company’s attempt to produce a high-end full-frame compact with a fixed lens (actually, it’s not so compact) .  Its most obvious competitor is the Sony RX1. The Q is priced in the U.S. at $4,250, and I’ll have more to write about this, as well as the competition shortly……..
