Leica Q Street Photography | Adam Riley

When I first read about the Leica Q, I dismissed the camera. Leica seemed to be bringing out AF fixed lens cameras which didn’t stand up to the reviews. I expected the Q to do the same. Slowly, the reviews started to come through on this camera – amazing AF, great ISO, superb image quality. Intrigued I played with a demo version thanks to the guys at Leica Manchester and was hooked. The camera felt so nice! I’m a wedding photographer, but love to shoot street. I believe street photography is the closest to “training”  a documentary wedding photographer can get. I own a Leica M6, but most of my street work is digital, and I currently shoot with an XT1 with the 18mm lens (27mm equivalent in full frame) and 35mm (50mm equivalent). I’ve also shot with the X100, Xpro1 and Olympus OMD system. I decided I could squeeze the Leica Q in my wedding camera bag, and after placing my order I waited 5 weeks for mine. I just had to sell a few fuji and Nikon lenses to help fund it……
