I used a Sinar 8x10 and loved it, the 2 point focus was a brilliant design.

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.

Thanks Mike that means a lot to me 😉
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.

Thats fine ☺ and I get it...it's just a challenge I like 👍
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.

Yeah you could be right...but the Q has a build in stabilizer in the lens... Tom

@@MyLeicaQnivers I know, but you cannot change the Lens with another Lens on the Q3, so not a Camera for me.

How ironic. I sold my Leica and spent it on a Harley D. Such is life.

@@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.
You bought it because it's a fad to buy overpriced cameras right now

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.
