Leica also released the “Formula 1” Leica Look – developed exclusively for the new Q3 43 special edition (available via the Leica FOTOS App). Its effect appears directly in the viewfinder, with richer saturation and higher contrast that bring the racetrack’s intense atmosphere into every image.

Here are the details on the new model:
