Q3

I love it that I could bring a Leica Q3, but not an old Canon Rebel. :)

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

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’ve been down that exact path. I started with the X-T5, sold it for a Leica Q3, then moved to the Q3 43, and eventually landed on a Hasselblad X2D II. Each move made sense at the time, and I’m genuinely grateful I was able to afford those moves, but it was still gear acquisition syndrome doing its

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

I’m not sure I understand this post. If you need a wider depth of field, don’t shoot at F1.7. I have a Q3 and a GR IV, I can tell you the Leica sensor, as you might expect from a full frame sensor at its price point, is incomparably better than the Ricoh in low light scenarios. For the scenario you’

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.

Had a similar journey from X100V to Q3 and missed the film sims alot in the beginning but the quality difference is just leagues ahead. I regularly use the chrome on Leica Looks.

Fast good 50's are cheap. Fast wide Leica lenses are not. Embrace cropmaxxing. Shoot em wide, I vote for the Q3 28.
