Being a professional photographer, I got to test the amazing Leica Q2 camera. This full-frame fixed-lens camera, equipped with a Summilux 28mm f/1.7 ASPH lens and weather and dust sealing, is perfect for taking impeccable pictures. The Q2 also features a 47.3-megapixel sensor, an OLED electronic viewfinder, a three-inch touchscreen LCD, and a magnesium alloy body. The camera supports multiple shooting modes like manual, aperture priority, shutter priority, and program.
During my Hollywood Sign photoshoot, I tried out the various camera modes. From the manual mode that helped me create the desired effect by adjusting the shutter speed and aperture to the aperture priority mode that performed well in varying light conditions, the camera delivered impressively. The camera also has a “monochrome” mode where you can take black and white photos with a classic film feel, a “panorama” mode to click shots with a wide angle, and a “multi-exposure” mode which allows you to take multiple exposures and combine them into one image.
While the Leica Q2 provides excellent features and functionality, the price tag is a significant drawback. Here are ten resourceful links to learn more about the Leica Q2.
Fascinating Facts About the Hollywood Sign
- Originally built-in 1923 as a real estate advertisement, the Hollywood sign read “Hollywoodland” and was set to last for only 18 months.
- The sign has been restored several times and is now one of the famous landmarks of Los Angeles.
- The Hollywood Sign is made up of 45-foot tall white letters and can be visible from a distance.

Summing it up, the Leica Q2 is a camera worth investing in to upgrade your photography skills. However, the high price tag could be a constraint, and a different option might work better for those on a budget.
