Verdict
Pick the Leica Q2 Monochrom if you need high-resolution stills, 4K video, or faster burst shooting for dynamic subjects. The Leica M-A (Typ 127) stays the better choice if you prioritize a purely mechanical, distraction-free shooting experience or prefer the flexibility of interchangeable lenses at a slightly lower price.
