Good morning

This is my first post, though have been following post's on and off for some time and been a Leica user for about fifteen years.

I purchased a pre owned X2 just over a month ago, it is excellent and I should have got one when first introduced, everything about it suites me down to the ground.

Could I ask do any of you use an Auto lens cap with the X2 and if so any problems.

Best wishes to all

Yes, I use one. It serves the purpose, but, it is not the sturdiest item. I'd think the tube extender with a filter is better protection, but it certain makes the camera a bit bulkier. Yes, I'd get the auto lens cap.

This may be worth looking into. This threaded filter looks like it will fit the X2.

Jonathan, welcome to the forum!

I can only partly answer your question. I have one on my X1 for several years. It might be a little flimsy (where the leaves close over the lens), but for sheer convenience it is worthwhile. Just treat it with respect if ever slipped into an outside jacket pocket because other objects could damage it. But then, I never put car keys or coins in the same pocket; a tissue at most.

Thank you for the welcome and for the replies.

Will continue to explore this one

 

P.S. I should have mentioned I also have the carry case, not the ever ready one, not sure if this might be a problem.

Once again thank you to both.
