The Leica Q (Typ 116) ($4,250) is the rare camera that somehow manages to be both old-school and forward-thinking at the same time. It does so through a mix of minimalist, classic controls, an understated design, and the most polished firmware and advanced tech that Leica has put into a camera. It succeeds where the Leica T fell short in that it doesn’t put its form ahead of its function, and while it carries with it a premium price tag, it delivers a product that’s purpose isn’t replicated by many other, less-expensive alternatives.
