I am beginning to see signs that maybe you are a bit commitment shy...


In terms of cameras, probably, but I think there’s more to it. I started photography with a photojournalism interest, thus seeking to carry gear that can capture whatever gets thrown at you. But I also hate carrying too much. I also find myself often looking for tele shots. That’s for example why I get some of my best street stuff when I combine a wide lens on a FF camera with the tiny 45mm (90mm equivalent) on an Olympus, so I get the typical street stuff and details. And the fact that I’m dividing my time between the flat landscapes of Holland, the grandeur and people of Vienna and, soon, the narrow streets and wide seascapes of Valencia. I’ll get there, but fear the M11 is one of the first ones to go.

Don’t know if you follow Nick Carver on YT or saw the Andalusia series from various photographers, including him. I’m like him, wanting to have gear to do a lot of stuff (in his case, a Texas Leica, wide panoramic film and 4x5 film), but I want to carry the gear that GrainyDays carries for the same thing (just one camera).

That's quite a significant crop! It looks like you cropped the 60MP image from the 43mm lens to an equivalent of about 210mm, which goes beyond the crop modes on the Q3 43. As a result, your image has a depth of field of around f/10.

So, your final image is about 2.56MP, right? Still great for web sharing.

Peter Karble mentioned in an interview that as we move past 60/100MP sensors, photography will allow cropping anywhere in the image while still producing good results, especially with high-quality lenses. While this is exciting for many, I think it’s better to frame

Yes, that kind of cropping is for emergencies and snapshots only. Composing is one of the joys of photography.

I was under the impression that with the Q you could only take two shots in succession like that.



I just made 6 shots on my Q3 with no refocusing. So it's the same as the SL3.

Speaking of the Batis 40 F2.0. I would really love to see the Zeiss Batis against this Leica 43mm F2.0 lens. Where would/do they differ?


Yeah the Batis is not APO, but does have a pretty clean look. Maybe not as painterly in terms of fall off or rendering.
A good reminder to go shoot my Batis again soon! I did immediately think of that lens when I read about this Q3 43.

With my SL3 I prefer and use the back button focus which divorces the focus from the exposure and shutter. Just wish the Q3 models had that same button.

I'm not disagreeing. The Q3 43 is my go out and have fun camera to just capture moments and share. If I'm shooting seriously I have the SL3 and the 21/35/50/75 APO-SL set to choose from to get the ideal composition.

If you are not a member of this particular forum, you probably can’t see the pictures included in the review. You may find some/additional ones here as well as I understood: https://www.slack.co.uk/articles/leica-q3-43.html

Or here: https://lightroom.adobe.com/shares/9ae161b1b74843c3a5c526754dcada7a (maybe the best link just for pictures) => I really like the bokeh of it.

As expected for this lens, it offers a very clinical and modern rendering. Aside from the distortion, which is corrected in software, this lens is as perfect as it gets.

Micro Contrast of the APO lenses-

Thats why the 35/50 apo work so well on the monochrome cameras-

Yes, not good form without first getting permission. I would definitely not want my mages lifted and posted somewhere else.

I've always said this is the least talked about thing when it comes to APO lenses. Because the color channels are propely aligned on the sensor at optimized distances, black and white images (even converted from color) have an almost hyper-real look to them.
