By the way: have you tried pressing the D-pad or the center button on the Leica q3 while wearing gloves? And this is necessary to select the desired profile.
Exactly my point that set off everyone about the BBF and the smallest button on the Q3-
The only button you could really use you can barely feel without gloves much less with anything on your fingers-
Photo of how little its rasied- Could you imagine trying to focus all the time with that? Or with a glove on? No chance
I use a thumb-up accessory and glued a small bump (like a furniture bumper) onto the button. This allows me to easily find the button even when wearing gloves.
I have seen people do that and di it myself back when I shot the D850 DSLR for wildlife in Africa. Mirrorless changed my workflow and I was able to get shot reliably that I never would with DSLR.
It all comes down to preferences. i shoot street which is a very dynamic environment almost every day. Most of the time with a manual focus M camera. Sometimes with an SL3 AF camera. Both give me excellent results. Just slightly different workflows. There is no right or wrong way, probably not even a "best" for everyone. As long as you are getting your shots, and enjoying the process, it is the right way for you. That is my only point.
