Leica Q3 43 Formula 1 Edition Camera: Overview
The Leica Q3 43 Formula 1 Edition is a special version of Leica’s 60MP full-frame compact camera, with carbon fiber parts and details taken from a racing steering wheel.
- Carbon fiber parts: The grip, thumb rest, and soft-release button use real carbon, which Leica doesn’t normally use. It keeps them light yet rigid, and each part is made and tested in Germany.
- Racing wheel feel: A non-slip Microvelour covering mimics a steering wheel. Plus, the soft-release and function buttons come in F1 red, color-coded like a race car’s controls.
- Formula 1 Leica Look: This exclusive profile adds higher contrast and richer saturation. Load it through the Leica FOTOS app and see the effect in the viewfinder while you shoot.
- Same Q3 43 core: A 60MP full-frame sensor pairs with a 43mm f/2 APO-Summicron lens, so you keep 8K video, image stabilization, and a macro setting.
Formula 1 fans who shoot with Leica can find this special edition at Leica Stores and specialist retailers.
