Leica Thumb Support Q3, aluminium, black anodized finish

The Leica Q3 Monochrom renders the world in deep, expressive black and white, offering tonality and dynamic range that color cameras simply can’t match. It's a dream for photographers who prefer to skip color—so long as they can justify the price.

I was thinking of upgrading my old M240 but had a go with a friend's Q3 and immediately wanted one. 60mpxl and a super lens, compact size and a reliable AF makes it perfect for out-and-about travel. And there's just something about the 'weighting' of Leicas that feels perfect.

I love the fact that it takes me back to the days when you didn't have to make all settings through screen menus. It has put fun back into my photography. Bought it by part exchanging a high end Sony and five lenses, some of which were so heavy that I seldom carried them. Even the superb Sony 70-200 was almost never used. I also started to find changing lenses a bore. With film cameras it was seldom a danger. But with digital cameras like the Sony the chance of getting dirt on the sensor made it a hazard. Being careful meant taking time and missing shots. I now carry a tiny Olympus with a zoom to 300mm equivalent for anything the Leica Q's digital zoom cannot reach and the Q for shots that are closer than 90mm. A perfect very light combination. The 1.7 lens on the Q is unbelievably sharp.

The Leica Q3 is not just a camera – it's a photography experience. If you're looking for a catalyst to help you fall in love with taking photos again, this is the way. When you nail the perfect shot, on this camera, you'll know about it.

This review is not about Leica Q3. Leica Q3 is awesome, I love it. This is to review the seller Wholesale photo supply. I ordered a Leica Q3. I was excited to wait for the camera to arrive. I finally got it after 8 days of shipping. When I open the shipping box, I was shocked that the camera box is already opened!!! The seal is broken. Orginal package of parts inside the box are also missing. The camera is in good condition, but I paid a full price for a new camera, not a open boxed camera!!! DON'T BUY ANYTHING from Wholesale Photo Supply!!!
