Great tips on a great camera. Excellent demonstration on the simple use of shooting wide open. It’s such a simple truth and one of the many things that set Leica apart from nearly everyone else.

Excellent explanation. An insight into creativity and how to control your art! Thank you Thorsten. I love my Q2 Monochrom!

hey thorsten... you dont have to start each of your video introducing yourself man... your fan specially me, are well aware of who you are, and plus it sounds funny man... one thing i always say.. you are the main reason why i love leica camera!

Thanks, maybe it's time to update the intro and jingle.

Great video thanks, I have just took the plunge and ordered the Q3, will get it tomorrow, can't wait. Thank you for the presets and keep up the good work.

Great video, I have a Sony A7IV and all of its best lenses up to 20K gear, but my Leica Q3 never leaves my sight, I go everywhere with it. I love it.

How cool, I've never tested the "finger aperture blades" trick before, it works!

Thanks Thorsten! I am always learning new things about my Q! 📷

The Panasonic Leica 15mm f1.7 is a brilliant alternative for M43, for those of us budget conscious!

Hola Thorsten, Im looking for a lightweight camera to take to some remote parts of Alaska to shoot walruses & whales. I assume that I’ll have to crop quite a few of my photos to get those close-ups, and I’m concerned that I’ll lose some of the sharpness. Would you recommend the Q3 for wilderness photography? Thank you

@MagicOfLight_ThorstenOvergaard

I would recommend it because it is easy to carry. As for sharpness, you can in fact crop to 75mm and 90mm and have razor sharp pictures. The lens was designed for it.

Thank you for your very informative Video and the free presets. As a new Q3 owner (2Weeks) i enjoyed your information very much.

Great video my biggest issue with the Q3 is the focusing. I’m coming from a Sony focussing so I’m struggling to get proper focus was wondering if you have some tips on focus settings for moving subjects to keep them in focus

@MagicOfLight_ThorstenOvergaard

Half the Q3 users use manual focus. Try it, I like the certainty and planning that goes into that. As fast as Auto Focus once you get it.

@@MagicOfLight_ThorstenOvergaard that’s what I’ve been liking about. This thing is the auto focus, but I’m getting there with manual slowly.

i love your photos. stunning visual par excellence. I know i won't be able to get the same results if i get the Leica even if i have been shooting for some time. Respect to you, master. Will follow for your inspiration.

has anybody figured out how to set the camera up that AE is not locked via shutterbutton half press while using AF/S mode ( p.117 Q3 manual )

Okay, I tried the Q3... but it's not for me. What I want when I photograph is to compose my picture at capture, not by cropping afterwards. So I need a compact with Zoom AND excellent lens quality (as good as the sum micron 28mm f1,7 ??). What would you recommend?

Yes, all you can do with Leica Q3 you can do with Leica Q2 and the original Leica Q from 2015.

Fin video Thorsten 👍 Kan også li du bare kører på med det engelske. Må jeg spørge om et godt råd? Q3 er jo med objektiv - og dermed meget billigere end fx er M hvor det hele løber løbsk når der også skal objektiv på. Som førstegangs Leica køber - hvad ville du så vælge? Jeg kalder mig motions foto”dokumentarist”

@MagicOfLight_ThorstenOvergaard

Q3 er en god pakke. Et M med 28/1.4 koster tre gange så meget, og billedkvaliteten vil være den samme. Men det er fornemmelsen af at bruge M der er attraktionen. Og også grunden til at man starter med et Leica Q, or så i løbet af indentid, drømmer man om et Leica M.

Mange tak fordi du svarede mig, det er jeg meget glad for. Må jeg spørge dig til råds igen. Der er lige nu mulighed for at købe velholdte Leica med lav shuttercount - M(9?)monochrome 20.000, M10 (Black Leica dot med tekst) 28.000 og M10-p til 31.000. Og et Q2 23.000. Alternativt nyt Q3. Må jeg spørge hvad du kunne foreslå? Rigtig god søndag 🌞👍, vh Morten

I don't understand why a 28 mm ( it is a more a 26 mm lens) lens ? ... 35 mm is well known, popular and a better solution.

Yes, they designed it for size of camera, versatility, and with the vision that you can crop the image. One day, maybe, a 50mm or 35mm version will come.

nada nuevo.. pense que encontraría como manejar la q3..

bonjour, désolé de mon commentaire en français, je vous rejoins dans le look Leica, venant de l'univers Sony et ayant toujours Sony A7RV, la grande différence est que sur le Leica ( Q3 pour moi) ce qui me choque c'est la différence dans les dégradés des tons et couleurs, c'est moins chirurgical et plus naturel , j'ai l'impression de plus de tons différents, de dégradés plus doux dans une même photo tout en ayant parfois du coup plus de détails mais plus feutrés. ceci est encore plus valable dans des cas de photos en faible luminosité. par contre pour des photos d'action, ou de sujets mobiles le Sony a une longueur d'avance, mais par contre le Leica est drôlement plus discret et c'est celui que j'emmène le plus facilement, ayant également un Q2 mono , on est encore un cran au-dessus dans la qualité des dégradés, on peut faire des photos de qualité dans la pénombre même si il y a une source lumineuse dans le champ, c'est pour moi la plus grande révélation en photo numérique depuis longtemps... merci pour les presets Michel

"c'est moins chirurgical et plus naturel" 😍 (Leica Q3 it's less surgical and more natural). Je suis d'accord, et c'est vrai que Sony est TRÈS doué en matière d'autofocus. Tout le monde dans l’industrie de la photo les envie et essaie de comprendre COMMENT ils le font.

I like it when he uses the term "the Leica look". There is no such thing. You can't tell from a photo online, in the newspaper or in a magazine which camera the photo was shot with. 😉

People pick brands for their tech and hybrid functions, shoot specifically to maximize dynamic range in post, use super clinical glass, twiddle sliders in Lightroom for hours, etc. Then hop in the comments after looking at a lo-res photo compressed by social media on their cellphone and say there's no "Leica look." Brilliant.

Not quite true, different brands have different looks. Regarding color, sharpness and tone. I was a Master Printer back in the film days and I most definitely could see a difference between Leica, Hasselblad, Nikon, Canon and Pentax. Now, it’s all based on sensors and pixels but each company still tweaks their sensors to achieve their “look”. If you can’t see this then, maybe you should stick to using your cellphone. 😊

Actually, pretty much 80% of all reviewers mentioned the Leica look because the camera itself is not really what does it it’s the lens. The lens is incredible. I’ve had a lot more time to spend with it now and I totally see the difference between this and my old Sony stuff. .

First thing to know that sensor size does not have anything ro do with sensor size. It is one of the first statements in this video which is inacurate.
