© Leica

Leica has unveiled its Q3 43: the third generation in its compact full-frame lineup. Known for its top-tier design, craftsmanship, and exceptional image quality, the Q-series has gained a loyal following worldwide.

The new model introduces a 43mm fixed focal length. At the core of the Leica Q3 43 is the specially developed APO-Summicron 43mm f/2 ASPH lens, joining the elite range of Leica’s renowned APO lenses. The high-resolution OLED viewfinder ensures you can compose with clarity and precision, while the compact design of the camera remains intact despite the addition of four aspherical lens elements for enhanced optics.
