Hi guys,

Just wanna share a quick tip. Apparently  Olympus' leather lens cover can be fitted onto the Q. All you have to do is remove the inner lining and voila.

The Leica Q3 is available for pre-order at B&H Photo Video and Adorama

Yeah, but it says Olympus on it....

But who would steal a little O brand camera. A little Q, whole different world. That's why I have gaffer's tape over my red dot as well. I think it is sort of a sneaky good idea.

In fact I just bought one on Amazon. Has a holder strap if it is desirable to your shooting style. $40.

Just picked up leica 14089 (15UD) which is plastic and fits over the lens hood (65mm)

Thank you very much!

It´s very good alternative for the original lens cover.

It doesn´t matter, that you can read "OLYMPUS", because it´s include in my name!

olympus and leica  Q 😀

I put a UV filter on the lens, screwed the lens shade on and put the lens cap someplace in some drawer where it is lost forever ..... no need for the lens cap and the filter (don't skimp!!!!) made no difference to the output ...

You joined the Forum and the first thing you did was to let us know that? Don't you know there's a rule that you can't discuss lens caps until you've posted at least 10 great photos? Let's see some terrific photos from your Q!

I dislike the Leica Q lens cover. A UV filter does the job for me

[Afairall]

A use a BW Clear filter + OP/TECH USA Hood Hat - Mini (Black) over the lens hood -- it's a great combo.

I keep the lens hood permanently mounted on my Q. The only problem I had with the OEM cap is that it fits loosely and is prone to falling off. The solution that I found was to place two short pieces of gaffers tape on opposite sides of the inside surface of the cap's rim. This creates a nice snug fit. Unless one is highly averse to having logos displayed, I can see no reason to use any other cap substitute.
