The impact of Q3 43 on my gear

Hi all, I’ve just finished a 4 week Japan  / Alaska / Canada trip. For the first time Most (not all) my used gear was SL3 with 90 to 280 zoom , and the Q3 43.

Other SL & M lenses stayed in the ships cabin …… the combination of the 280 zoom with the Q3 43 was brilliant. And for wider shots Lots of Panorama's with both Q3 43 & 280

This is just to note that after many years of travel carrying everything plus “the kitchen sink” I’m now down to just that set up , but will carry a 35 for the SL3 in case the Q3 malfunctions.

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

Next time just take the q3.

Everything else is kitchen sink 😀

An SL3 with an enormous lens is a strange companion to a Q3 -- works only in a stationary setup with a car or boat.

I disagree.

Back in DSLR days, I carried a Nikon D850 with 70-280 f/2.8 VR lens hiking 3 days in the mountain. Also with me is a tiny Sony RX100 mark2.

And I came out live.

I will trust my Q and take a 21 instead of the 35 😇
