jaapv Posted June 19, 2024 Share #3 Posted June 19, 2024 You will be owning this camera a for long time. Don’t choose a loud colour that you will tire of over time. For me Zinco would be the first choice without question. Next black and sage as third. Light blue and orange turn it into a fashion accessory and would be an absolute no-no for me. I had my old Monochrome done in a la carte grey over a decade ago and I am still happy with my choice ( in real life the grey is quite a bit darker) Welcome, dear visitor!

MikeD70 Posted June 19, 2024 Share #8 Posted June 19, 2024 Black, you can always get it "skinned" in the color of your choice by a company like Alphagvard. JMHO 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barralad Posted June 19, 2024 Share #9 Posted June 19, 2024 Or you could buy any of the above colours and skin that black, but if it were me and I really wanted the black one I’d wait and get one of those. If that meant waiting a few months then so be it. You could save up for the difference in price over that time and the anticipation would be better - I reckon - than spending so much money on something that’s the ‘wrong’ colour just to have it now. But I’m not you. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradS Posted June 19, 2024 Share #10 Posted June 19, 2024 That orange would be fun for a few minutes and then...yeah, just plain black please. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can sell you a can of black spray paint 😂 Joking aside, I’ve sold a few of the Nikon ZF’s reskinned in green…they look darned good. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 19, 2024 Share #12 Posted June 19, 2024 I like the look of the coloured leather. The standard black Q3 is a regular diamond pattern as opposed to the "natural" look of the coloured finishes. Are the coloured versions real leather? A lot of people will tell you to go black, but that's just "I'm a serious photographer and my camera isn't a fashion accessory" snobbery . I think the colours are fun, so go for it. .. and I like the look of the Zinco finish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

These all colors much nicer in real, pics doesn’t do justice to the actual live feel and look. My wife and daughter didn’t even wanted me to consider Zinco and I wasn’t interested in Sage Green but after looking at the actual camera both these colors looked so good on camera. To me Zinco is the best and then Sage Green. With Sage Green only concern is it’s a bit light color. So zinco is the safe option. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the Q2 Reporter, but really didn't like "kevlar" finish. The colour was nice but the material got tatty very quickly. Leica sold that as a plus point which I thought was excellent marketing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocalHero1953 Posted June 19, 2024 Share #18 Posted June 19, 2024 (edited) I have a Q2 Reporter (grey/green, which has worn nicely, as I expected), so that would be my preference if I had the option. Otherwise black, then sage. Edited June 19, 2024 by LocalHero1953 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the color of my Q2 Reporter and would buy a Q3 reporter if it came out. The "kevlar" material can always be replaced or reskinned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBNvRBN photo Posted June 22, 2024 Share #20 Posted June 22, 2024 Sage Green gives you the Leica Film Look not only on the inside (i.e. the photos) but also on the outside!! Kidding aside, I love all of them. Leica surely knows how to turn our camera tools into a fashion items... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
