Neopren case for the Leica Q


Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

 

it will, but the M is a little wider... 1 cm or so

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!

@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.
