A Weekend in Amsterdam… with the Leica Q343

This photograph is Amsterdam for me; the light, serenity and charm, as if you have stepped into a painting by one of the Dutch masters… My wife surprised me recently with a long weekend trip to a mystery destination. I was told to pack light, and for me, that also means bringing only one camera... this time the Leica Q3 43. A camera that took me by surprise when it was officially released on September 26, 2024. It is a premium full-frame compact camera featuring an APO-Summicron 43mm f/2 ASPH lens, a 60-megapixel sensor, and an integrated macro mode…

Whether it is street, portrait, landscape, food, selfies, macro… this camera can do it all… and do it well.

"Some tourists think Amsterdam is a city of sin, but in truth, it is a city of freedom. And in freedom, most people find sin."
