This week’s photo walk with Jay and the Singapore Weekend Photography (SWP) team was extra special; he handed me his Leica Q2 to try out! Leica has a legendary reputation for its colour science and those gorgeous monochrome tones with rich micro-contrast. Since I’m a sucker for high-contrast black-and-white shots (I usually shoot with a custom Acros-based film simulation on my Fujifilm X-T4), there was no way I was passing up this chance.
I’ll admit, the Leica interface threw me off at first. It felt like learning a new language, and honestly, I had more misses than hits. But when I nailed the composition and focus? Wow. The results were stunning, crisp details, beautiful tonal range, and that signature Leica look that makes every frame feel timeless.
Safe to say, this brief encounter left me seriously tempted to spend more time with a Leica in the future!
