Leica has just officially announced the new Leica Q3 43 digital camera. It is the same powerful and portable camera but now touts a longer APO-Summicron 43mm f/2 ASPH. lens. This sibling of the original Leica Q3 is better positioned for portrait photographers and everyday shooters looking for a narrower, more natural perspective compared to the 28mm lens of the original.
This new camera costs $6,895, first available for pre-order at B&H/ Adorama.
