Money well spent
I have owned Nikon, Fuji, and Olympus cameras. I sold my D850 to help pay my Q3 43. Picture quality and the experience of using this camera are the main reasons why I bought it. I had the Leica QP years ago (I made a profit when I sold it, even though I had bought it second-hand).

pros and cons
The Leica Q3 43 is a wonderful camera in terms of image quality and weight. However, one aspect that feels limiting is how the cropped focal lengths (especially at 90mm, 120mm, and 150mm) appear so small in the EVF. This makes composing shots at those focal lengths quite difficult, as it’s hard to see the subject clearly. In comparison, my previous experience with the Sony A7R allowed full-screen viewing even when cropping, which made composing much easier.It’s a bit disappointing because the technology clearly exists to offer a magnified view at these focal lengths—something that could greatly enhance usability without needing to carry additional telephoto lenses. It sometimes feels as though the system is designed to encourage ( to put it nicely) users to invest in the M series and its lenses instead.Considering the Q3 43 costs around $8,000 after tax and accessories, it’s a significant investment. I can’t help but feel that Leica’s management team is overlooking customer experience ( or frankly knowingly misleading the customers) . While the crop mode is available, it becomes nearly unusable at telephoto focal lengths. Additionally, the Q3 43 body doesn’t feel nearly as durable or solid as the M11.
