Leica Q3
Full-frame fixed-lens compact with Summilux 28mm f/1.7 lens and 60MP sensor.
The Q3 is a fixed-lens full-frame compact built around a Summilux 28mm f/1.7 ASPH. lens and a 60MP BSI CMOS sensor. It is the wide-angle anchor of the current Q-system — same body and sensor as the Q3 43, the wider focal length that has defined the Q-line since the 2015 original. Autofocus, in-body image stabilization through the lens, and an integrated macro mode sit alongside Triple Resolution Technology, which writes DNG files at 60, 36, or 18 megapixels depending on the photographer's preference.
Position in the lineup
The Q3 is for someone who wants the Q-system's all-in-one design at the wide-standard 28mm focal length — landscape, environmental portraiture, street work where the frame should be wider than the eye registers. Within Leica's lineup it sits alongside the Q3 43 (43mm sibling, more natural angle of view) and the Q3 Monochrom (dedicated black-and-white sensor) as the Q-system's three current bodies — same 60MP platform, three different lens-and-sensor combinations.
