Leica Q3 43 Camera

The Leica Q3 43 fulfills a desire among users for a longer lens, with a 43mm fixed focal length lens. Now in its third generation, the compact fullframe Leica Q3, with a fixed focal length of 28mm, inspires people all over the world. In addition to the unrivalled standards of design, workmanship, image quality and operation, the success of the Q-Family is especially attributed to its close dialogue with its users.

At the heart of the Leica Q3 43 is a unique, newly developed lens. The APO-Summicron 43mm f/2 ASPH not only joins the family of legendary Leica APO lenses, renowned among the best lenses in the world, but also distinguishes itself within Leica’s own lens portfolio. The focal length closely mirrors the natural perception of the human eye, enabling the creation of realistic, distortion-free images through the high-resolution OLED viewfinder. This makes the versatile 43mm focal length ideal for both for street photography and portraits. Like its sister model, the Leica Q3, the Leica Q3 43 also features an integrated macro mode for detailed close-ups and a leaf shutter for high-speed flash photography.

The Leica Q3 43 creates extraordinarily sharp, high-contrast images in any lighting condition thanks to its complex construction of the apochromatically corrected optical design, which includes four aspherical elements, while maintaining its compact, lightweight design.

The new APO lens delivers superior performance at its maximum aperture of f/2 making it possible to separate subjects from the background with a harmonious bokeh. Combined with its outstanding ISO performance, the APO lens enables short exposure times, even in low light. Photos and videos can be taken at the 43, 60, 75, 90, 120 and 150mm focal lengths by using the frame lines displayed in the 5.76MP OLED viewfinder, or on the touch friendly tiltable monitor.
