Q3

Try one and see. I thought the same thing then I got my hands on a Leica M2 and instantly saw why. Right now I have hella different cameras all brands and the one I reach for the most is the Leica Q3. My canon and sony cameras beat it by a lot in terms of autofocus and features, but the Q3 is just a

I currently have a Q3/43, M10M, DLux-8, iiia, and just bought an M6 reissue. And I can honestly say that none of them are worth what I paid if I just want a camera to simply take pictures. That said, the feelings I get from using these cameras - especially the M6, is worth every cent. When I use the

The Q343 produces the sharpest images I’ve ever seen. The APO lens is just crazy good. To get that level of IQ, you’ll need to use APO 35 / 50mm M glass or any of the APO SL lenses. You get an extra stop on the Q3, but it wont be as razor sharp as the 43, but sharper than 95% of the cameras out ther

TLDR version: I own both. Buy the Q3 43, it costs more but that’s because it’s much, much better. I wanted a decent quality, carry everywhere camera - better image quality and better ergonomics than an iPhone but lighter than a Z8 with lens. I’d previously had an X100T, but had never really got on w

I’ll be real with you. On this sub you’ll probably get a ton of answers like the ones you’ve already got from people that have never shot Fuji or the x100. I have a Q3 and an X100vi (and an R5, not relevant only to say I have experience in many systems and I’m not biased). Since I got the x100vi I h

Two things really. in a world where everything is made to the cheapest possible standards, everything breaks quickly, everything is getting smaller etc, I always seek out proper, made to last, well built items. I just love the robustness, weight, quality and care taken on Leica cameras. the experien

It is technically cheaper than the Q3, but for a bit more money you'd get a Leica. Say what you want about them, but they are definitely a luxury brand with luxury build quality, looks and a certain brand cachet. And Leica glass. And Leica color science.

I had done a similar journey, but I am not sure it helps you as it sounds like a very personal experience. I kept my Zf, because I love its looks, smaller size and feel. Plus it is the best with adaptors to use my eclectic collection of old and vintage lenses (Inc Leica lenses). Given the relative l

Hard agree. It is the only compact camera with ibis, log footage and nd filter. Cameras like the Sony 1xr3 and Leica Q3 don't combine all of these things. It is the only REAL compact hybrid camera. Plus, it has an OVF and the conversion lenses are great.

Good choice. Frankly a good idea. No need to fuss with changing lenses, it has decent autofocus, auto everything when you need it. Gives at least as good performance if not better than an M11 and a 35 mm or 50 mm. If you need a 28 mm, just buy a Q3 instead. I shoot Leica because of the Q series. M’s
