There's a very nice option for a Q3 grip from iWood. I recently got one and it's very well made and quite beautiful. https://iwoodstore.com/products/wooden-leica-q3-q2-grip-handle Just got this grip, it's very light and looks awesome on the camera!

Advertisement Posted October 19, 2024 Posted October 19, 2024 Hi Segal, Take a look here Leica Q3 43 vs Sony A7CR + 40mm f/2.5. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Olaf_ZG Posted October 19, 2024 Share #22 Posted October 19, 2024 That looks very nice indeed. Is it comfortable as well? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olaf_ZG Posted October 19, 2024 Share #24 Posted October 19, 2024 Ordered one, don’t have the Q yet, but it will come in some months so better be prepared… 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The iWood store is located in Macao China and the eBay one ships from China as well. The embossing on the bottom is the same on both sites. I may order one but I need to think about it. I currently have a nice half case so I really don’t need it, this is more of a want. https://www.ebay.com/itm/364356792770?var=633878952956 The eBay version of the Q3 wood handle grip arrived this past weekend, it is very nice quality, the fit and finish is perfect and it looks exactly like the one from the iwoodstore. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
35mm_shooter Posted July 30 Share #26 Posted July 30 This was helpful. Can you post a few more examples to show rendering differences between these two lenses @Segal? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
viramati Posted July 30 Share #27 Posted July 30 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have the Sony FE 40 G and use it on my A1ii when I want something really small and discreet. Of course this has a slightly bigger footprint than the A7Crii but is a much more versatile and usable option Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A pity you mentioned this, could have let the "experts" argue about which images were from which cameras, pizza and popcorn sales would have gone up too. 🤣 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-train Posted July 30 Share #29 Posted July 30 Utter blasphemy. Your ip address should be burned just for mentioning Sony, let alone compare it to our divine brand! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early impressions are that the Sony 40/2.5 on the a7cR is a little sharper throughout the frame, but I prefer the rendering and much prefer the colors of the 43. I did plan to do some comparisons, but using the Sony takes me some prep: firstly, I find the shutter to be really really loud, so I always want to use electronic-only if there’s anyone near me, but that’s a disaster with electric lighting, leaving me doing a menu dive while at the same time scouting for hidden light bulbs around me before I shoot anything. I got through that but then, when trying to focus, it went into this damned “tracking” mode, which I hate, but I’ll be damned if I can figure out how to turn it off. So I spent some time fiddling with the focus area and subject-tracking settings until I eventually gave up and just used the tracking. Then I ran into a recurring ISO problem, which stems from the fact that I always shoot in full manual mode (I find that the automatic settings nearly never do what I want them to), and in manual mode the dial I have set to ISO is way too easy to turn and I’m always bumping it accidentally, resulting in wildly inappropriate exposure settings. So I ended up with images that I’ll have to redo if I want to use them for comparisons. I’m sure the Sony pros would laugh at me, but having had the camera for only 11 months and being a Bear of Very Little Brain, I really struggle. I’m able to get what I want from the 43 without issues. You can put clear tape over the speaker holes on top of the A7cR to reduce shutter sound Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
