bernie.lcf Posted June 16, 2015 Share #1 Posted June 16, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) If you are looking for a Neopren case for the Leica Q: Optech USA Softpouch Digital D Series D-Midsize (the model that is recommended for Olympus OM-D E-M1 cameras) Quite a nice fit. Leaves about 2cm in the front part, but overall fit is very good. Unlike some Leica branded Neopren cases, this one does not come with a logo (you can get an iron on Leica logo on ETSY if you insist) and uses press buttons rather than velcro (which I prefer). There is no Optech Logo on the case - this is good carrying your Leica Q without people noticing and for putting the camera in a backpack for example. Sells for EUR 48 in Vienna. You can fit the Q in the Leica neopren case for Vlux1. This will have a Leica logo :-) but the case is actually too long and looks a little stupid. Welcome, dear visitor!

bernie.lcf Posted June 19, 2015 Author Share #7 Posted June 19, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Well, I am sorry it doesn't fit your purpose. I am not bothered by those 2 or so cm (Q with both hood and cap installed) because I have a pouch about that size that I store cards and some lens cleaner in. I just drop this inside the case and the camera on top is a good fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitalfx Posted June 19, 2015 Share #8 Posted June 19, 2015 no worries, Amazon has painless returns...but this case was more like 1.5" to big in the lens with hood attached. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winedemonium Posted June 19, 2015 Share #9 Posted June 19, 2015 I'm taking my M-P240 with 50 APO and my Q on a trip. Just picked up the Leica M neoprene case for the M. They mentioned that it fits the Q quite well too. Will try that out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter H Posted June 19, 2015 Share #11 Posted June 19, 2015 I'm taking my M-P240 with 50 APO and my Q on a trip. .................. That sounds like the perfect partnership. Have fun and please report back, with pictures. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
goatsby Posted June 19, 2015 Share #12 Posted June 19, 2015 How about the Neoprene Case M with short front, it has been a champ for my other cameras so far... https://uninspiredme.wordpress.com/2015/03/24/review-leica-neoprene-case-m-leicas-best-kept-secret/ Hopefully the Q falls in line with my other cameras and fits in this as well!

Macberg Posted January 17, 2017 Share #13 Posted January 17, 2017 I'm taking my M-P240 with 50 APO and my Q on a trip. Just picked up the Leica M neoprene case for the M. They mentioned that it fits the Q quite well too. Will try that out. The dimensions of the M: 139 x 80 x 42 mm (without lens, which made it difficult for me to judge whether the M-Case fits on the Q) The dimensions of the Q: 130 x 80 x 93 mm (with lens, of course) I thought of buying that Case, too, but was uncertain whether it would fit the Q well enough, as it is made for the M which is about 9mm wider than the Q. And I don't know about the average sizes of M-lenses. In my opinion, it mustn't be too loose around the camera, it should really be like a firm skin around the camera. Did you try it? Could you tell us, whether that is the case with the neoprene Case for the Leica M? Or is it a bit too big? That M-Case is available in two sizes - did you buy the smaller one? Thanks for your effort! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bk* Posted January 17, 2017 Share #14 Posted January 17, 2017 @Macberg there is a video on YouTube where a guy demonstrates the neoprene M case for use with the Q here: It seems like a good fit but, I confess, I still have some doubts and am looking for a solution in this vein so I can put my Q into another bag or case without worry.

colonel Posted January 20, 2017 Share #15 Posted January 20, 2017 Did anyone try if the 4/3s size fits ? It's slightly smaller in each direction then the midsize 4.75x3x5 (4/3) vs 5x3.75x6 (midsize) Rgds Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
