I found the bird quite impressive. It was almost like new. The last series of the THUNDERBIRDs was produced in the FORD LINCOLN Continental factory.

They were of a high quality, almost European ... ---
 
There are a few Q3 reviews out. It seems to be a very nice camera.

I don't use 28mm a lot, I'm happier with 35mm.

I know I've said this before Immo but I do envy the amount of old bikes and cars that you get to see ans photograph. Before Covid we used to get lots of these kind of shows near me but they just don't happen any more.

Hi, I am quite fortunate, living in an area with many car/bike enthusiasts. In a 60 mile radius around where I live, there is at least one event/weekend, after COVID now ... ---
 
Out of interest has anyone preordered a Q3 and got a delivery estimate. I'm being told 3-4 months
 
Hi, Oppenheim/D ... (M9 - Summarit 2,5/35 ; f 5,6) :

@dancook Damn these looks great - I read somewhere, can't remember where.. about a 3-6 month waiting list.. that's rubbish then. I can see the Q3 becoming a classic

I ordered directly through Leica website as soon as it went up on the announcement, I was just fast on the trigger, or lucky as some might say, they were out of stock very quickly! I saw Wex put some stock on their website, but I also saw over 350 people viewing the page, it was gone shortly after.

Human detection AF is pretty good, but I hope they improve it through firmware updates and don't just wait on the Q4 :)
