  Introducing the Leica Q3 43: Enhanced Focal Length with Proven Q3 Performance

  Experience the Leica Q3 43, a groundbreaking addition to the Q series, featuring an upgraded APO-Summicron 43mm f 2 ASPH. lens. This powerful and portable camera is designed for photographers seeking greater reach without sacrificing performance. Ideal for portrait and everyday photography, the Q3 43 offers a natural perspective, surpassing the original Q3 s 28mm lens.

  While it shares the robust functionality of the Q3, including the exceptional 60MP full-frame sensor, hybrid autofocus system, and 8K video capabilities, the Q3 43 introduces subtle aesthetic changes to the camera body. These features solidify its position as a versatile choice for diverse shooting scenarios.

  Unmatched Sensor and Processor Performance

  The Leica Q3 43 is equipped with a 60MP BSI CMOS sensor derived from the M11 and original Q3. This back-illuminated design ensures superior noise reduction and faster readout speeds, enhancing both photo and video quality. Its high resolution is perfect for capturing intricate details in landscapes and architecture, while improved low-light performance allows for exceptional clarity and color accuracy at higher ISOs.

  The camera’s 60MP sensor also enables innovative digital zoom capabilities, offering a range of simulated focal lengths, from 60mm to 150mm through various crop options. This flexibility allows photographers to creatively adapt their focal lengths without changing lenses.

  Triple Resolution Technology for Versatile Output

  Utilizing Triple Resolution Technology, the Q3 43 offers selectable outputs of 60MP, 36MP, or 18MP, leveraging the full sensor area to deliver stunning 14-bit color depth and a dynamic range of 14 stops. This feature provides photographers with the ability to customize their image resolution based on specific project needs.

  Advanced Autofocus and Lens Design

  The Q3 43 introduces a unique 43mm focal length that mimics the human eye’s perspective, offering a realistic and distortion-free view. This versatile lens design is perfect for landscapes, portraits, and street photography, and includes a dedicated Macro setting for close-up shots.

  The new APO-Summicron 43mm f 2 ASPH. lens features apochromatic optical design for unparalleled color accuracy and sharpness. Its aspherical elements minimize distortion and enhance contrast, making it an exceptional choice for various photographic styles.

  The hybrid autofocus system combines phase-detection and contrast-detection technologies, enabling swift and precise focusing, especially for moving subjects. This advanced system also includes intelligent subject tracking for detecting and following eyes, faces, and even animals.

  High-Quality Video Recording Capabilities

  The Q3 43 is engineered for multimedia creators, featuring robust video recording options. Capture DCI 8K video at up to 30p with 10-bit color, or shoot 4K video at 60p with 4:2:2 10-bit color support. Full HD recording offers impressive slow-motion capabilities at 120p. Additionally, ProRes 422 HQ recording is available internally at Full HD resolutions.

  Connectivity options such as micro-HDMI and USB-C ports expand the Q3 43’s functionality, making it a powerful tool for video production, including support for RODE external microphones for enhanced audio quality.

  Refined Camera Design for Optimal Usability

  The Q3 43 boasts a high-resolution electronic viewfinder and a versatile tilting touchscreen LCD, enhancing the shooting experience. The 5.76 million-dot OLED EVF provides realistic motion rendering, while the 3 touchscreen allows for intuitive control.

  Designed for portability, the Q3 43 features a durable magnesium alloy body with weather sealing (IP52-rated), ensuring reliable performance in challenging conditions. With an ergonomic layout and a unique grey leatherette finish, it balances style and functionality.
