Pros: File quality and color gamut, extreme quality optics, excellent construction

Cons: Photographic optics not suitable for everything; Not a point and shoot, little protection of the body and optical structure

Opinion: Hello everyone, I leave some opinions especially for those like me who were (or are undecided) between the Q 28mm and the Q43. My doubt was based mainly on focal length. In the end I chose the 43mm as I would have had more opportunities to exploit it professionally and therefore "amortize" it and also use it for portrait photos. If you have a doubt about the focal length and want a Leica Q to do a little bit of everything, surely the Q 28mm is your camera. The 43 is a remarkable and certainly high-performance camera but the focal length is decidedly binding and forces you to choose and select a lot and well, in the composition phase, slowing down the acquisition process itself, and inevitably to lose a bit of immediacy. At the moment the dials (type iso and shutter speeds are a bit hard and it is therefore necessary to use both hands to shoot). The optical viewfinder is fantastic and takes us back in time, feeling the need to look through it, bypassing the monitor. It's the digital experience closest to analogue. It retains quality, fidelity, and detail, the color gamut is phenomenal, and the file itself is magical. As already expressed, the 43mm, unlike what I have been able to learn in many tutorials to date, is not a lens for everyone and everything, and it is not said and taken for granted that "you always take home photography". In my opinion, the 28mm is much more concessionaire which allows much more room for play, (even of "error" if you want), much more compositional immediacy and ease of daily use even in contexts with little space, numerous people to photograph, panoramas, landscapes and compositional elements necessary to complete a day life story. On the contrary, this 43, maintaining the body of the 28, is a "blade" but would like to be used by the photographer who already mentally works on the shots and a 43mm photograph. At the moment it has often happened to me to find myself in circumstances that the focal length was too much, or on the contrary, too little; While for the aspect of too little can be summarized with the digital crop, for the aspect of too much, unfortunately, either you have space or you have to badly "cut". In short, it is an overwhelming and crazy camera from a technical point of view, and requires a well-in-depth choice on the 28/43 depending on the use and the type of photo you want to take. I will certainly exploit it at 110%, but I do not exclude the need to integrate a 28mm for the reasons mentioned above. The photos I uploaded are purely demonstrative for reference to the quality of the file and give an idea of a perspective
