Testing My Leica Q3 Before I Travel To Limerick Tomorrow 12 October 2026

Testing My Leica Q3 Before I Travel To Limerick Tomorrow 12 October 2026

Tomorrow I travel to Limerick in order to photograph the City and County and I am still trying to decide what equipment to bring with me. As already mention I have had many issues with the Leica Q3 and have been reluctant to depend on it so i spent the last week trying to migrate all issues. However, I found that I could not depend on my photographs being accurately geo-taggesd so I decided to try installing a Geo Tagging app on my new iPhone 18 Pro and importing the resulting files into Lightroom Classic and it worked much better that I had expected.
