Check out the new Leica Q3 accessories:
From a reader (thanks Ala’a): a couple of days ago I picked up my Leica Q3 from the official Dubai Store, and today was my first day of testing the camera and its new features. As usual, when I receive new cameras, I like to test the low light capability, basically bringing to life underexposed images, and here is my first attempt, which was shot at: ISO 50, f/1.7 and 1/30 second (the photo was captured hand-held):

The first Leica Q3 camera reviews are out:
“When I say new, I don’t mean just a new number. While it looks the same, it is nearly a complete redesign retaining the familiar form factor and absolutely stellar 28mm F1.7 Leica Summilux. To sum up the Leica Q3 in a word, I would have to say wow — just wow.” (West 42)
