It’s a game-changing cleaning product

My plan for later this month had been to test two different Leica cameras at a climbing event. However, there is an old and wise climber’s saying: “Never attach two Leicas to one harness!” So, I decided instead to test one of the cameras at a less adventurous – though no less interesting – event. Here, the worst that could happen was that I could fall into deep mud at the edge of a pond with the Leica Q3. I was willing to take that risk, so now I can present the first photo from a series I’m planning. You will soon hear my first impressions of this camera, but for now, let’s move to the news from the past week.
