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.
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 f2 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 f2 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.
More Style, More Individuality
The Leica Q3 43 is tailored to perfectly meet the everyday needs of creative photography. Adding extra accessories improves convenience and allows you to customize 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 colors.
‘Leica Looks’ Image Styles for Creative Photography
With Leica Looks, you can instantly capture beautiful photos - with no post-processing needed. With the growing range of Leica Looks, you can expand your creative horizons through various image styles that can easily be imported to your Leica Q3 43 via the Leica Fotos App. Once installed on your camera, the preset effects are ready to use, allowing you to apply them during any shoot while preserving the original DNG files.
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 100000 for exceptional low-light performance.
