TapTechNews September 26th news, even before the Leica Q3 was not yet released, there were rumors that Leica company planned to equip this fixed-focus full-frame camera with a medium focal length lens, but in the end the Leica company did not modify the lens configuration of Q3, and it still carries the Summilux 28mm f/1.7 wide-angle lens 'inherited' from the Q1 era until now.

Foreign media LeicaRumors revealed today that Leica will launch a special edition Leica Q3 with a 43mm f/2 APO lens tomorrow. This machine uses a gray artificial leather material finish and is equipped with an APO-Summicron 43mm f/2 ASPH. lens.
