Leica 19207 Q3 43 - Formula 1® Edition

With the Leica Q3 43, Leica expands the Leica Q3 line-up. The Leica Q3 43 Formula 1® Edition is a limited edition of this camera, featuring a fixed APO-Summicron 43mm F/2 ASPH. lens. Only a limited number are available worldwide.

The Q3 is equipped with the BSI-CMOS sensor with ‘Triple-Resolution-Technology’. This lets you easily shoot 60, 36 and 18 megapixel images in DNG or JPEG format. Regardless of the chosen resolution, the camera always uses the full size of the sensor and you have an enormous ISO range of 50-100,000. Thanks to the collaboration between the sensor and the Maestro IV processor with L2 technology, you enjoy a fantastic dynamic range of 14 stops.

The Leica Q3 is also even better for video makers than its predecessor. You record your videos in beautiful 8K resolution at 30 fps and 4K resolution at 60 fps, with a very complete set of codecs at your disposal, from the highly efficient .h265 to Apple’s ProRes.

The built-in APO-Summicron 43mm F/2 ASPH. lens has an integrated macro mode. This lets you capture the finest details at a distance of just 26.7 centimeters. You shoot at the standard 43mm focal length, but you can also optically select your frame up to focal lengths of 60, 75, 90, 120 and 150mm.

The hybrid autofocus system means you no longer have to miss a moment. This system combines a highly accurate contrast AF, a Defocus system, phase detection AF and high speed when focusing on and tracking the subject. You are also supported by intelligent subject recognition, so you can make the perfect shot.

Finally, the Leica Q3 excels in connectivity. You transfer photos up to 10x faster to your smartphone with the Leica FOTOS app. Where you could transfer one DNG file per 30 seconds with the Q2, it now takes you just 2 seconds. USB-C tethered shooting with Capture One or the Adobe Lightroom plug-in is also supported.

With the Leica Q3 43mm, Leica also introduces the Leica Chrome look. This look gives JPEG images a unique analog look and feel. With Leica Looks you create images that can be shared with the world straight from your camera, easily with the Leica FOTOS app.
