Pros: Solid construction, great ergonomics and handling, excellent image quality, amazing APO lens and good battery life.

Cons: Not exactly portability, high price (?) and absence of the supplied charger.

Opinion: After owning a Leica SL2 (sold only because, although I loved it, it was too heavy for my use), my feeling with Leica never really disappeared. So, after about a year, I returned to Leica, this time with the Q3 43. Initially I was very undecided between Fujifilm X100VI and Leica Q2/Q3 (at the time for the Q3 I wanted the 28mm version). In the end I had chosen Fuji, but inside I felt that sooner or later I would return to Leica. In fact, even in the positive review I had left for the X100VI, I wrote that one day I would also have a Leica added to it. After about six months... I really did. The hardest choice was between 28mm and 43mm. In the end I opted for 43mm, especially for the type of photography I do and, in particular, for the lens. After the first test shots I completely fell in love with it. The APO-Summicron 43 lens is simply exceptional: practically absent chromatic aberration (as known, and in fact superior to the Summilux I had on the SL2), non-existent distortions, very clean files and a rendering that allows you to safely use even the digital zoom without a real loss of quality. It's an addictive camera: it makes you want to go out and photograph all the time. The Leica menu remains, as always, not very immediate and a bit confusing, but with a minimum of practice you can learn to navigate it without any particular problems. The Leica Looks are nice and well done, but the limitation to only 6 Looks that can be loaded at a time is a bit annoying: to try others you have to delete and redownload them from the app. A sore point is the charger not included: considering the high price, I find this choice hardly justifiable (and honestly I'm tired of this "clown" linked to the European Green legislation). The original charger costs almost € 200 and additional expenses must also be taken into account if you want an extra battery, although it must be said that the autonomy is still very good. On the portability front, the Q3 43 is not pocket-sized like the Fujifilm X100VI: for example, it doesn't fit in my Wandrd D1 Fanny Pack, while with the Fuji I can carry body, two conversion lenses (28 and 50) and batteries without problems. That said, I don't sell the Fuji – I keep both. They are two different cameras, which coexist very well and which, together, increase even more the desire to go out and photograph. The Leica Q3 43 is simply fantastic for reportage, street and conscious photography. The choice between 28 and 43 was not easy, but in the end the 43mm turned out to be, for me, the right choice.

Pros: Manageability, color, appeal.

Cons: Price, AF not phantasmagorical but effective.

Opinion: Elegant, minimal, handy and relatively light, I bought it in just 8 minutes at the Naples store after a calm reflection that lasted almost a year. I couldn't do better than get rid of Canon equipment (sold without regrets). I was reborn photographically speaking in just 3 days of use. I need to improve in the management of shooting parameters but I am particularly satisfied with the purchase. I am already enthusiastic about the amalgam of colors rendered by the files and the atmosphere that reigns in the photos as well as the clear perception that, used well with light, the subjects can be almost sculpted in relief and made to emerge from the background (regardless of the bokeh). In short, in terms of 'aesthetics' we are at the top of unimaginable performance thinking that after all it is a box that almost resembles a toy. I recommend that you consider it as a purchase.

Pros: Wonderful images. It does not clutter. The colors.

Cons: Price?

Opinion: I prefer this to the Q3 with 28mm, a matter of taste. Easy to use, intuitive menu. Lightweight and easy to handle. Of this version I appreciate the 43mm, more akin to me. The macro function is excellent and I find it useful and fun. I love Leica's colors, already as wonderful as she bakes them. Leica prices are known to be not low, but on the market they maintain value and this is no small thing. It is not an all-rounder machine but by cropping the generous sensor you can go further. Leica FOTOS is lightning fast, I didn't have any problems.

Pros: Size, apo lens, Leica color science, Leica looks, video specs, build quality

Cons: Only one sd card slot

Opinion: I come from a Leica sl2 system with 24-90, for reasons of size of my studio the lens was always set between 40 and 50 mm to make a full figure. I thought about it for six months and then I decided to make the change to q3 43. If only I had done it before! It is truly extraordinary in terms of image quality, unparalleled. Super reliable autofocus even in continuous focus, probably thanks to the new update. Rated 10 out of 10

Pros: Superlative image quality, relative compactness that makes it a possible single machine to carry around, materials, menus, interface

Cons: Not pocket-sized, AF not first in class, price (but justified by the yield), lack of double slot, lens hood that prevents you from mounting filters

Opinion: It is a camera at the same time similar but different from the original Q3: the 28mm is more suitable for landscape and "wide" street while this one is more portrait and more classic street. The image quality of the aspherical Summicron is an impressive thing, it's incredible and worth the price of the machine alone. The 43mm is the right middle ground between the 35mm and the 50, it can act as both even if it is closer to the 50 in terms of yield. Also very suitable for portraits and honestly pairing it with the Q3 28mm I will make the perfect match for wedding shoots. Too bad the double slot is missing but having reliable SD there are no major problems. I think I will take it on the road with me as the only camera instead of the 28mm, even if I will give up something on the landscape to prefer details and a "normal" format without distortions. Compared to the 28mm, the minimum focusing distance is a bit farther away, so you use the macro trigger ring more for details. The original lens hood is designed so that you cannot mount filters and use the macro mode that advances the lens and slams into the lens hood, so if you use filters you have to look for a third-party one. But the fundamental thing is that this camera can truly become a truly professional definitive "one Lens camera", the quality of the files it churns out is literally incredible, from the colors to the three-dimensionality, to the bokeh it provides to the lack of distortions and non-existent chromatic aberrations, with an unsurpassed paste. If you like the 40mm and you are able to sustain the expense, it is a camera not for everyone but for those who know how to exploit it it is really THE choice.
