In fact, my 28mm is the lens I use most often. It's great for candids, street photography, and most travel photography.
With a fixed lens, you lose out on the endless versatility offered by an interchangeable lens camera like a DSLR or a standard mirrorless camera like the Sony Alpha series. So if you look at the Q2 from that perspective, it’s almost a bargain. Most of the camera bodies and lenses the company produces run north of five grand. Much of the character of Leica photos comes from the unparalleled quality of the company's lenses. Seriously, even just everyday photos of houseplants and pets seem rich and vivid, like a timeless moment carefully composed and captured in loving detail. It's almost impossible to take a bad photo. There's a character to Leica photos, and that character comes through in each and every shot you take on the Q2. Every scene seems frozen in glass, crystal clear, and rendered with brilliant color fidelity. There's some indescribable quality to photos taken on such a camera: Photos are tack-sharp even with the aperture wide open backgrounds melt into luscious, buttery smooth bokeh. It’s unfortunate, and it’s certainly an unusual choice for a $5,000 camera, but it is a Leica lens and therefore produces incredible images. You’re stuck with the included 28mm f1.7 lens. The Q2 is not as full of features as other mirrorless cameras on the market, Leica’s own included, because you can’t change lenses. How’s that for a cold splash of reality? The price isn’t the only thing about this camera that might take it out of consideration for most photographers.
