43mm. A unique addition to the Leica lineup.
Leica is introducing new facets to Q photography with its versatile 43mm standard focal length and a digital frame selection ranging from 43mm to 150mm. The 43mm focal length closely mimics human vision, allowing for subjects to be captured with a true-to-life and natural perspective. This makes the Leica Q3 43 perfect for expressive portraits, as well as street, travel and event photography. Learn more about the 43mm focal length and what makes it so special.

The ideal focal length for truly natural portraits
The 43mm focal length of the Leica Q3 43 makes it the perfect choice for professional quality portraits. The images are distortion-free and (at wide apertures) beautifully separate your subject from the background, thanks to its shallow depth of field. With a soft bokeh and targeted focus on the eyes, the camera delivers striking portraits with natural skin tones. Its compact and discreet size also helps to create authentic, spontaneous moments by encouraging a more natural interaction between the photographer and subject.

Fast Leica APO lens
Crafted specifically for the Leica Q3 43, the APO-Summicron 43mm f/2 ASPH. is an optical masterpiece engineered by Leica experts. Like all Leica APO lenses, it delivers outstanding image quality, offering incredibly sharp and high-contrast shots in any lighting condition. It effortlessly joins the ranks of Leica’s legendary APO lenses, renowned as some of the best in the world.

With its wide f/2 aperture, the Q3 43 lens produces a beautifully smooth bokeh, isolating your subject from the background even in low-light situations. The integrated macro mode captures stunningly detailed close-ups. Despite the intricate design of this apochromatic lens with seven aspherical elements, the compact size the Leica Q series is known for remains intact.

The Leica Q3 43 is tailored to perfectly meet the everyday needs of creative photography. Adding extra accessories improves convenience and allows you to customise your camera with a touch of style.
