A week ago, I expressed concern about whether the rumored Leica Q3 Monochrom camera would be released in the US after the M EV1 fiasco.
I can now confirm that the new Leica Q3 Monochrom camera with a 28mm lens will be officially announced this Thursday (November 20th) and will be available in the United States.
Leica will also announce new accessories for the Q3 Monochrom.
