“Great buy”
Amazing camera and amazing in-store purchase experience.

“Amazing piece of art from Leica! Build like a tank and performs like a star.

The sharpness of the APO lenses is incredible. Menu navigation very easy and intuitive - this is not Sony jungle lol

The AF is sufficient for my needs and if you thinking of shooting sport or action.. you may want to first test it before putting your money down.

Lastly, amazing experience at the Manchester NH store with Jesse.”

43mm. A unique addition to the Leica lineup.
Leica is introducing new facets to Q photography with its versatile 43mm standard focal length and a digital frame selection ranging from 43mm to 150mm. The 43mm focal length closely mimics human vision, allowing for subjects to be captured with a true-to-life and natural perspective. This makes the Leica Q3 43 perfect for expressive portraits, as well as street, travel and event photography. Learn more about the 43mm focal length and what makes it so special.

The ideal focal length for truly natural portraits
The 43mm focal length of the Leica Q3 43 makes it the perfect choice for professional quality portraits. The images are distortion-free and (at wide apertures) beautifully separate your subject from the background, thanks to its shallow depth of field. With a soft bokeh and targeted focus on the eyes, the camera delivers striking portraits with natural skin tones. Its compact and discreet size also helps to create authentic, spontaneous moments by encouraging a more natural interaction between the photographer and subject.

Fast Leica APO lens
Crafted specifically for the Leica Q3 43, the APO-Summicron 43mm f/2 ASPH. is an optical masterpiece engineered by Leica experts. Like all Leica APO lenses, it delivers outstanding image quality, offering incredibly sharp and high-contrast shots in any lighting condition. It effortlessly joins the ranks of Leica’s legendary APO lenses, renowned as some of the best in the world.

With its wide f/2 aperture, the Q3 43 lens produces a beautifully smooth bokeh, isolating your subject from the background even in low-light situations. The integrated macro mode captures stunningly detailed close-ups. Despite the intricate design of this apochromatic lens with seven aspherical elements, the compact size the Leica Q series is known for remains intact.

Your style. Your Leica Q3 43
The Leica Q3 43 is tailored to perfectly meet the everyday needs of creative photography. Adding extra accessories improves convenience and allows you to customise your camera with a touch of style. And don’t forget to explore the exclusive range of accessories for the Q3 43: from the elegant multifunctional protector with a built-in handgrip to thumb rests, soft release buttons and retro-style lens hoods in various colours.

Full-frame sensor with Triple Resolution Technology
The Leica Q3 43 offers unprecedented flexibility with its full-frame sensor and Triple Resolution Technology, allowing you to shoot at 60, 36 or 18 MP. All three options are available for both JPEG and DNG formats. Regardless of the resolution you choose, the camera uses the entire sensor, with an ISO range of 50 to 100,000 for exceptional low-light performance. Powered by the Maestro IV processor with L² technology, the Q3 43 is fast and reliable even at the highest resolutions, for both photography and video.

Absolutely authentic videos
Equipped with the same advanced video capabilities as the Leica Q3, the Q3 43 supports video recording in resolutions of up to 8K and offers a variety of video codecs, including the highly efficient .h265 and ProRes 422 HQ, with frame rates of up to 60fps in 1080p. The 43mm focal length captures scenes with a natural, distortion-free perspective, ensuring a true-to-life look. The ability to connect gimbals, external microphones (function available end of October), power banks and external display recorders via USB-C and HDMI further enhances the camera’s flexibility for producing professional video content.
