Wetzlar, November 20, 2025 – Black-and-white photography is more than just a look. It reflects a particular mindset. In the absence of color, the focus lies on light and shadow. Equipped with sensors that record only brightness data, Leica’s monochrome cameras capture the very essence of photography. The new Leica Q3 Monochrom continues Leica’s unwavering commitment to the essentials, distilling black-and-white photography to its purest form.

As with all Leica Q-Cameras, the Q3 Monochrom is particularly compact. It combines cutting-edge technology with timeless design, defined by its clean, minimalist aesthetic. Its dedicated black-and-white full-frame sensor, featuring 60 MP and Triple Resolution Technology, is primed to capture each moment with exceptional clarity. Paired with the Summilux 28 f/1.7 ASPH. lens, the Q3 Monochrom features a fast, wide-angle fixed focal length, complemented by an integrated macro mode and accurate autofocus. Those who favor manual focusing are aided by intuitive focus assist functions when needed. As a perfect companion for travel, street, and lifestyle photography, it excels at capturing emotion in striking images and videos, even in challenging lighting conditions. With seamless connectivity to the Leica FOTOS App via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and USB-C, images can be edited and shared straight from a smartphone.

More intuitive than ever: thanks to its newly simplified user interface – clearly divided into photo and video functions, with straightforward icon and menu navigation – the emphasis remains firmly on the subject, not the handling. The high-resolution OLED viewfinder and tilting touch display provide a reliable real-time preview.

The Q3 Monochrom is also the first Q-Camera to incorporate pioneering Content Credentials technology, which optionally embeds a digital signature into images to offer tamper-proof verification of their origin and any subsequent edits.

Handcrafted in Germany from premium materials, the Leica Q3 Monochrom is a camera perfectly suited to everyday creative practice. It impresses with its functional elegance, while offering dedicated black-and-white photographers and filmmakers maximum freedom through a choice between manual or automatic operation.
