Leica Looks... for Q3 only... get rid of it for other users, Leica

Leica, get rid of the Leica Looks teaser in camera app if a user doesn't have the "correct" camera.

No point in teasing an - in my case - M11 user with such Leica Looks when there's no way to use them. Wanna sell me a Q3?

Unnerves me each time I open the app, such a prominent space for the Looks... and no use.

The Leica Q3 is available for pre-order at B&H Photo Video and Adorama

A load of marketing nonsense anyway. Nobody has ever been able to define even one "Leica Look" This is just a bunch of presets that any photographer halfway competent in postprocessing can match or improve upon, according to his own taste.

Hi, 

I think they should work on these presets. 
1. it should be more

2. they should give us some things that we can relate to. Like a film simulation.  
 

3. it should work for all cameras. Maybe not in camera but when the images are transferred, the. They can be applied.

Today, I read about a new "look", Eternal, from the new SL3.  I checked the app, it doesn't show up there.  It does, however, look a LOT like the effect you get in Photoshop from the Radiant Imaging Labs filter.  The article I was reading said that this added "look", was included for use on the Q3.  I didn't find it.

Here's an update, the added ETERNAL Leica look has been added to the app.  As mentioned, I think it's a lot like the Radiant filter.  It does look a little harsh for a portrait, but adds a bit to a lot of scenes.  Something to play with.

I think they ought to work with the M11. Alternatively they ought to be “translated” to Lightroom presets.

Are there any plans to make the presets available to more Leica cameras that use the FOTOS App? I also think this would be cool if not only available for Q3. Long time ago I was using Fujifilm X series and it was great having the film emulations. Especially as Leica is usually more of a long term investment it would be great to have long term support, also with new digital add-ons.
