Formula 1 and Leica Team Up on Special Edition Camera Inspired by F1 Cars Themselves
At Leica and in Formula 1®, teams of engineers work with the utmost precision for months to achieve that decisive fraction of a second. This shared passion for precision and technology has given rise to the Leica Q3 43 Formula 1® Edition – a tribute to the art of speed.
This special edition features handcrafted carbon fiber parts, non-slip Microvelour and official F1® branding. With a focal length of 43 mm, it captures even the most adrenaline-fueled moments as faithfully as the human eye perceives them.
Born from German Engineering, driven by the Spirit of Racing.
Unmistakable Down to the Last Detail
From the engraved top plate and matching lens cap to the rope strap bearing both brands’ logos: the F1® and Leica details incorporated into the material give this exclusive special edition a distinctive character all of its own.
No Compromises on Technology
The Leica Q3 43 Formula 1® Edition is based on the Leica Q3 43 model. It retains the original model’s outstanding image quality and intuitive operation, combining them with an exclusive design inspired by the world of motorsport.
Nice looking camera. But, $10,000.00 for a Point and Shoot ?
Leica is going to price itself out of the market. It will get to the point where only a handfull of people can afford this stuff then their investors will start making the calls.

Yes. If anything, Leica's pricing is really insulting. The true diehard fan boy won't see this until even they can't afford one. On top of that, has anyone seen videos or images of a Q3 being completely assembled in Germany? I would like proof that it really is. I know in Italy a designer hand bag is made in China for next to nothing, then in Italy they sew a zipper on and can then stick a Made in Italy label on it.
