The Leica Q3 43 has been out of stock at a lot of retailers outside of Leica stores since its launch back in October of last year. B&H Photo now has limited stock of this brillaint fixed lens full-frame camera from Leica.
The Q series has been the best line of products in the Leica lineup since it was launched nearly a decade ago in my opinion. I do have a thing for the red dot, even if I don't own anything outside of a Q series camera and some binoculars from Leica.
The latest Leica Q3 43 uses a Summicron 43mm f/2 lens instead of the Summilux 28mm f/1.7 on all of the previous Leica Q cameras. Both lenses are brilliant as you would expect.

A first for the Q series, the Leica Q3 43 is the same powerful and portable camera but now touts a longer APO-Summicron 43mm f/2 ASPH. lens.
Built for those looking for more reach rather than a wider field of view, this sibling of the original 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.
Beyond the lens and some aesthetic differences on the camera body, the Q3 43 remains functionally the same as the Q3: it includes the high-performance 60MP full-frame sensor, hybrid AF system, 8K video recording, and refined handling design that made the original Q3 version a versatile all-in-one choice for a variety of shooting needs.
