Leica also has the largest network of Galleries in the world. The perfect way to really view images. Printed and hung up. No other camera company has this much dedication to photography. This is another reason the community is so strong. Wonderful video and images. Thank you
I always enjoy visiting Leica stores & galleries when I travel. I admit that I’m fortunate that the main Leica store in my city includes a complete floor devoted to gallery space, but even some of the pocket galleries in some stores provide some of that community feeling.
I agree 100%. Nice review and beautiful images. And thank you for all your helpful video's. I have both Q3's and am enjoying them, the community and ecosystem as you say. Happy New Year!
Great video. I picked up the Q3 43 a couple of weeks ago. I have owned a multitude of the best system camera for specific purposes and I enjoy and marvel at the photographic quality and improvements of high end point-and-shots. The Q3 43, as with all of the other Q camera are incredible professional quality cameras that can also function as the best point-and-shoots money can buy. If I want to really craft a shot I have the ability to intuitively put the entire system into manual focus, aperture, and shutter speed. Purchased it for some of my upcoming travel where I will only take one camera, other than my iPhone. I really, really like this camera and totally like 43 lens vs the 27mm lenses of my Q2 Mono and Q1.
Jetzt war ich so überzeugt, mit der 28mm richtig zu liegen… und dank Dir überlege ich nun wieder intensiver die 43 doch auch noch zu holen. En guete Rutsch!
I've the Leica Q3 43. Am loving it. Still learning new things about it and your videos have helped. It's a beaut of a camera and I feel inspired and excited when I use it. I'll be keep an eye on your channel in 2025. Thanks and good luck : )
Great - you will like Zurich a lot. Its my home town and there is a lot to love about Zurich. And thanks for your kind words, I try my best to deliver good content and if someone writes to me that the content is helpful like you just did then this is my award for the work :)
Mensch, Du hast das recht. I am with you every step of the way. The Q3 43 is a jack of all trades/bonne a toute faire camera. It shoots the same angle I can see and I can use the electronic zoom so I do not need a tele. Color and IQ are very good. It is not an X2D but it is good. It is not perfect but no camera is. But for a camera that can be picked up and used for just about everything, the Q3 43 is what we have today. Great review. Knowledgeable, concise, orderly and well presented. Thanks.
I still love my Hasselblad with the V lenses. A really interesting review. Yours always are. I especially LUST after that Q3 007 version. Thanks for all your videos this tear and I certainly look forward to what you share in 2025. Best wishes to you and yours.
Many thanks Patrick. Always appreciate reading what you have in mind when you post your comments. A James Bond Q3 43 Edition would be my favourite, fully agree. Reporter-style green finish and a lens hood with the 007 logo :) I will let Leica know that this is what we want! All the best for 2025 and see you next year on my channel.
I love the NY pictures. Makes me want to go! I think the Q Series is perfect for traveling, if you are short on space. I once rented the Q2 for a weekend to take some pictures. It was a blast. Is it expensive, yes, but the camera makes you want to go out and shoot(at least for me). And I think if a camera, does not matter what brand, is capable of doing so it is worth every penny. 😊 Hope you had a nice X-Mas. Hope you will have a superb New Years Eve. Also, almost 50k!!! So close. I bet you can reach 50k before New Years. I will try and help by posting on my social media. Every single follower counts 😊😊😊
Many thanks Eugen. The Q-cameras are Leica's best value proposition for sure. And thanks for helping with the subscriber counting, I am super happy that 2 hours ago the 50k have been reached :) Happy new year and all the best for 2025.
I have the 28 and in two minds about trading in and buying the 43... Have you had many instances where the 43 was too restrictive??? Im very happy with the 28 so far. Fantastic camera
You are definitively right: The Q3 43 is really delivering in an outstanding way. I got mine since 3 weeks now and the images are sharp, sharper, sharpest! Even sharper than my Fuji GFX 100S with the 50mm lens (to my mind the most under rated GFX lens) and which is the lens having almost the same field of view as the 43… And for what it is delivering, it is still a small camera. I was opting for the Q3 since ist came out, but never wanted the 28mm, as this is just too wide for what I like to shoot.
For landscapes, was thinking of adding a Q3 43 to support longer range cropping to current Q2 Ghost Edition for wides. OTOH, instead of carrying 2 cameras, perhaps more sensible to add a SL3+24 or 28-70 zoom for 1 camera 1 lens to get full 60 mp resolution?
Interesting, have used my Q-cameras heavily and never found that they scratch easily or get damaged. In any case, thanks for chiming into the discussion and providing your thoughts.
Die Panoramas sind atemberaubend schön ! Unglaublich wie scharf dieses objektiv ist ! Klar die Kamera ist teuer aber dafür bekommt man ein sorglos Paket !
Vielen Dank, Tobias. Die Bilder sind gut genug für grossformatige Prints - und das ist es, was ich typischerweise benötige und anbiete. Die Leica Kameras sind alle relative teuer, aber man bekommt auch sehr gute Qualität dafür und die Community im Hintergrund ist einfach cool.
Ich fotografiere engagiert seit 1964, für mich ist die beste Kamera die, die man im richtigen Momenten, immer dabei hat, völlig egal von welchem Hersteller! 😉
I have been waiting for years for a Q3 with a 40 mm lens instead of the 28 and Leica has finally delivered. Now that it is here, I find myself in a quandary between the Q3 43, a Hasselblad x100 with 55 mm lens or upgrading my Sony system with an A1-2. I know these are first world problems, so I apologize for that up front. The reason for me to get the Q3 43 or the Hasselblad is to simplify my photography carry, particularly on trips (one camera, one lens). The Q3 43 biggest advantage IMO is weather sealing and biggest negative will be critical autofocus. The Hasselblad with 55 mm lens biggest advantages for me are (1) something new and totally out of the box and of course (2) huge resolution. The Hasselblad's negatives are critical autofocus and the cost of the system. The Sony A1-2 biggest advantage for me is it expands my existing system with a body that enables photography of fast-movers (like birds) due to incredible autofocus. I like to shoot with shallow DOF where the position of the focus point is critical. It is for this reason I will likely end up with the Sony A1-2, but I will be making a trip to B&H soon to try out all 3 and make a final decision. If you have any thoughts, I would love to hear them. All the best.
Thanks for sharing, much appreciated. The new Sony A1 Mark II is a beast, I will post my initial thoughts in the next weeks. And with some smaller GM-lenses you can keep the volume of your gear low profile. The X2D has the big negative on the autofocus side as you spot-on pointed out. The autofocus of the Q3 43 is light years better than the X2D's autofocus but still no match for the new Sony A1 II when it comes to focus tracking. I actually think if fast autofocus and focus tracking is the main feature you expect from your gear then Hasselblad is definitely not the right choice and Leica might work but will not match the autofocus speed of a Sony A1 II or a Nikon Z9 or Z8.
I wondered if we could have a 50mm Q3, and then they gave us 43, which is fantastic. Then I understand why they made the Q 28mm in the first place. I love 43mm Q3, but I must admit that the 28mm version is more versatile. I got one 43mm when it was just released and then sold it. I will wait for the Q4 43mm.
It really depends on what scenes you typically shoot, whether you prefer 28 or 43. The next Q4 will however take some time to arrive, I guess not before 2026 but let's see. Since I get new gear from Leica before they announce it I will hopefully be quick enough with my review when a new Q4 gets in scope :)
Some technical questions on your panorama shots 1. How many pictures are stitched up in photoshop? 2. Do you use portrait or landscape mode for each of the component pictures? 3. What brand of tripod and ball head have you engaged for Q3? 4. Would the same result be achieved by Q3 28 as they have the same sensor? in fact you may shoot one or two pictures less as 28 is a wider lens
Great video as always, but I dispute your statement that a 43mm is good for portraits. Nothing beats a 105mm. Will Leica ever deliver a q with a proper portrait fashion shooters lens? Not just cropping in, but with the background compression. Thank you.
Thanks for your positive feedback and your thought is spot-on of course, 105mm is way off superior than 43mm for portraits. Having said that, 43mm is already much superior to 28mm when it comes to people photography and portraits. And I doubt that Leica will go longer in focal length for future Q-cameras because they want to keep the Q as universal as possible so that you still also can shoot landscape and architecture with your Q-cameras. And of course you can shoot landscape with 105mm, gives that nice compressed look, but will for many people nevertheless not be wide enough in terms of angle and Field of View.
Nice video, I have both the Q2M & Q2. I'm considering selling the Q2 and buying the Q3 43. I don't think I want all three. What's your opinion? Also many have said the 28mm on the Q2 & Q3 is closer to a 25mm. Is the Q3 43 a true 43mm? has it been tested???
I would keep the Q2M and replace the Q2 by a Q3 43, spot-on. I heard a lot about the 28mm not being precisely correct. But I have not tested it myself.
This question isn’t about this video. Not long ago you mentioned in a past video that it’s not necessary to turn in body stabilization when shooting on a tripod. I have watched other photographers on RUclips and they always point out to turn off in body stabilization when shooting on a tripod. Can you explain why it doesn’t matter in your opinion it is not necessary to turn off in body stabilization?
Look, its simple. Whenever I shoot long exposures on tripod I do not deactivate IBIS and it always gives me great results. So why bother and change a setting.
I have the A7RV and Leica and you’re missing the point… the simplicity of Leica is unmatched by Sony. Sure the A7Rv is excellent and is packed with “features” i agree, but Sony is a tech company so we expect nothing less. Leica focuses on optics and photography… they don’t make PlayStations or consumer products like home stereos etc… but the real point is, optics… very few lenses come close to Leica character… I own the 35 50 85v2 and 135 GM Sony lenses and none match the rendering of Leica glass. The Q is elegant and simple with an APO lens and while I agree it’s a bit pricey, it is a wonderful package. Keep in mind, adding a GM lens with an A7RV you’re looking at 5k so not cheap either. At the end of the day I think people should enjoy and be free to use whatever they enjoy and what makes them happy to use… my Sonys have their place as tools but when I travel and when I shoot for myself, my Leica is the one I grab.
Dude considering exchanging my q3 28mm for the 43mm. Most of my work is 35-60mm all my 28 pics end up being cropped. So common sense says 43 suits my style more. What would you recommend
Hey Math, my name is Johnny and I'm a freelance logo designer and looking for more much needed works, would you love to have a logo redesign for your photography business and your channel to have a brand image your audience can remember your contents from and also can be one of the merch print you can sell to your fans to buy and own and share the words about your channel too? Let me know if you interested and I would love to work with you to design these for you! :-)
Sure, I can create one inspired from a 43 A, just need to get noticed from Math, he is sure busy, hope I can get to work with him, a artistic logo for him, a closer step for me to get a Zf with 28-400mm f4-8 later! :-)
I'm dreaming about q3 28-50 lens without middle focal length. for me, the macro(not real macro even)feature is basically useless. if there would be a 50mm zoom instead of macro it will be the perfect one for me.

You should consider picking up the 'Haoge Square Metal Lens Hood for Leica Q3-43' as it allows filters and macro mode access.
Thanks for the hint, will look into it. Much appreciated.
Thank you for your extraordinary work on your channel. From a very happy Q3 43 owner.

Sure, the SL3 is always a good choice. Its not as compact as the Q3 though. "Q2 Ghost Edition", very nice, beautiful camera :)
Speaking of build quality I’ve seen a lot of people say while yes it’s a solid piece of kit.. it chips and nicks pretty easily and looks used easily

How does the image quality / rendering / bokeh compare with Leica Q343 with Canon EOS R5 Mark II with Canon RF 50mm f1.2L USM Lens?

Good point, I did not activate perspective control but always correct perspective in post-processing for straight lines, manually.

who is mathphotographer? why is identity so mysterious? I love his videos. excellent .
Haha thanks, I am the Leica ghost who reviews photography gear :)
For me, I think a full body shot with background scenery using a 43 mm is preferable than the 28 and even 35 mm in most situations.
I love 43 mm and often use it for full body shots with scenery in the background.
I wondered if we could have a 50mm Q3, and then they gave us 43, which is fantastic.
