Hands-on with the Leica Q (Type 116)

We have to admit, we’re rather smitten with the Leica Q. It’s compact and handy, has both the aesthetics and intuitiveness of an M camera and adds (essential) modern features like auto focus and an EVF. The latter wouldn’t be worthwhile if they didn’t perform, and we’re pleased to say that they do – and rather well at that. The feel in hand and build quality, it goes without saying, is true to Leica. The camera is sublime; it’s all metal and the controls are crisp and precise. It’s nimble to shoot with the new function and zoom buttons available.
