    Hi, do get a Leica Thumbs Up for your Q3, it's very comfortable. Have great fun with your Leica camera, it's an amazing tool with a wonderful lens.

    I bought both thumb and hand grip and returned them both. The thumb fits fine on the built-in thumb rest. I like the slimness and feel of the body as is. It’s already heavy so I prefer mine minimalist.

    I’m a Leica M user and thought the Q3 would be fine to use. After a few months, I realised that the fixed 28mm was too limiting and sold it. Most of my photos are taken using a 50mm; yes, you can take a photo with the Q3 and heavily crop it but it just wasn’t for me.

    I undersand ... but Iv'e come to love the 28 mm ...it challenge my creativity, and make me look different on my motives. Thanks for your feedback, that means a lot to me. Tom

    To an extent I agree. 28mm is very limiting and although the crop options partly mitigate the limitation, give me a 35mm or 40mm lens any day. However, in most situations I can cope fine with 28 [actually nearer 24mm field of view with this lens] but I chose my camera according to what I think I’ll need that day and half the time it will not be the Leica Q.

    I think if Leica makes a "Q"-model with Leica M-mount, an excellent joystick and a built-in stabilizer in the Camera, then it will be close to a perfect Camera.

    @@arsulaksono881 In the UK these are selling at from £3200 to £3500 in excellent to as-new condition. The few rougher ones are selling for no less than £2800. I believe that they sold new for around £4200, so very nice ones have lost £500 to £700 in value so an average of a fifth, 20% depreciation at retail.

    It’s not really overpriced compared to say a Canon R5 and L series lens though is it. It’s similarly priced to any other FF 60 megapixel camera with a top quality wide aperture prime lens. It’s good value in my opinion.
