It's definitely improved the overall feel and performance to the point where if you were on the fence about getting the Q3, but the autofocus concerns and the general kind of responsiveness of the camera was an issue. This is no longer an issue, I believe.
If you want a photography first camera that can also be used as a video first camera, this is a pretty good option.
Do I recommend this camera? The short answer is yes. Whilst there are a few negatives, I think on the whole the positives and the overall experience of using this camera and the results that you get far outweigh those negatives.
Coupled with what is arguably the most premium build quality I’ve ever seen—and a price tag to match—the purpose of this camera is clear: to deliver the best possible image quality in the most elegant and minimalistic package.
To summarise this is a great lens however it comes at a cost. It’s bigger, heavier and more expensive than the other 23mm options which means it’s not for everyone.
It’s smaller, lighter, weather resistant, has better autofocus and cheaper. If you find this lens at a bargain used price, it will be a fun addition however I would only get it if the price is extremely low.
To summarise this is an amazing little lens if your main priority is to keep the size and weight down or create a pocketable system. The image quality is great, the autofocus is acceptable and the build quality is top notch.
It’s incredibly sharp at all aperture values and produces clean and crisp images. Colour rendering is perfect and the out of focus elements even at f2 look pleasant.
To summarise this is an amazing little lens and the one I recommend to almost everyone.

If you’re in the market for a compact telephoto prime, this must be one of your options. [...] However, if you don’t shoot in low light [...] then this is a very strong contender.
If you’re in the market for a fast and compact 35mm prime, there are many options, however I feel this Sigma offers the best bang for your buck. At f/2, you’re covered for low light photography and portraiture.
