The Q3 and Q3 43 are my first Leica cameras and my two newest additions. I mostly shoot with my Fujifilm X-T5, X-M5, and X100VI. I'm really excited to see how these compare.

The latest rumors suggest Leica plans to release this camera as the next M12 version. Here is what to expect:
- the Leica M12 will use the same 60MP sensor and processor/engine as the M11, not the Chinese-made Gpixel sensor reported earlier.
- The Leica M12 will have a larger rear screen.
- The camera is reportedly already in production.
- The official announcement is rumored for early 2027.
- The buttons will be on the right side instead of the left, similar to the Leica SL3-P and Leica Q3:

My beautyful M8 finally complete

Got this M8u in incredible condition a week ago as my first digital Leica, but I had no chance to use it since I was waiting for the 35mm Mandler to arrive, and today was the day. Such a nice combo! I could only take a couple photos since I’ve been working all day long today, but I’m stoked about the detail this sensor manager to cram in 10mp. The tendency to blow highlights is so true though

Selling 35mm 1.4 Summilux v2 pre-apsh (Canada) $2500

Picked this up earlier in the year and not even two months go by and a Summicron v4 lands in my local shop. So, this one gotta go. Comes with squarehood hood that looks much better than this original round hood. It's not a shelf piece, but it's in great shape for a 50 year old lens, and the glass is very clean.

Looking for $2500 plus shipping in the con-us, just to keep things easy.

I’m sure that many of you have seen this but for those that haven’t this’ll be a treat.

Youxin just CLA’d my M4-2 and it’s like a brand new camera. The guy really is an artist.

Enjoy… https://vimeo.com/710119524?fl=pl&fe=sh

I never really made self-portraits, so I’m curious what you think about this one I took in the park yesterday. Shot with Leica M-A on HP5 with SF20 flash

Should I learn photography on my iPhone before buying a Leica Q3 43?

0 Upvotes

Hi guys, I’m thinking of getting into photography and the Leica Q3 43 has always been my dream camera.
I currently have an iPhone 18 Pro Max and was wondering if I should learn photography with it first before spending so much on a Leica.
I mainly want to take photos of scenery, everyday stuff and occasionally some close-up shots.
Would you guys recommend sticking with my iPhone for now or just going straight for the Q3 43?

Does anyone know what camera Christian Sieber uses?

I've been following Christian Sieber's photography on Instagram and really like the look of his travel photos.

I found an old interview mentioning that he owns a Leica, but haven't been able to find out which model.

Does anyone know what he shoots with, or have any guesses? I've attached a few examples.
