Pictured: the new Leica Q3 Metal Gray camera
The Leica Q is the best-selling Leica camera, according to a recent presentation by Leica’s VP of global marketing, Andrea Pacella. Leica sells more than twice as many Q fixed cameras as M rangefinders.
Secondary market data consistently shows strong Q-series volume (Q2 often among the highest individual model transaction counts due to lower used pricing). Similar are the reports from the camera rental market:
