Lucky Posted November 12, 2016 Share #1 Posted November 12, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) Is there there anyone out here who is using the Ventilated Lens Shade for the Leica Q made by/offered by Thorsten Overgaard? Looks like a great option for the use of filters. And please no meaningless discussions about the price tag! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

war Posted November 12, 2016 Share #2 Posted November 12, 2016 Is there there anyone out here who is using the Ventilated Lens Shade for the Leica Q made by/offered by Thorsten Overgaard? Looks like a great option for the use of filters. And please no meaningless discussions about the price tag! Looks like a good idea but can't tell much from his photos of the hood. I need enough room to manipulate a polarizing filter. Anyone tried it? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marchyman Posted November 13, 2016 Share #3 Posted November 13, 2016 FWIW I can manipulate a polarizing filter under the stock hood. After a bit of practice you'll stop getting your finger prints on the filter. I do have to remove the hood to install/remove the filter. I don't find that to be a big deal. I using a Marumi DHG Super Circular PL 49mm filter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

matlep Posted November 13, 2016 Share #5 Posted November 13, 2016 i have it. makes the use of my polarizer way easier than with the stock hood Could you post some pictures? Is it much longer than the stock hood or are the about the same? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmyking Posted September 8, 2017 Share #6 Posted September 8, 2017 I just received mine. The fit and finish is very nice. It is about 1-1.5mm longer than the original hood. The lens cap that was supplied with it works very well. Functionally, I like the cap better than the 49mm Leica Lens cap for the 135mm lens. The cap supplied by Overgaard is a little easier to grip than the Leica cap and can be operated by pinching in the center or gripping on the edge like you would with the Leica cap. The hood sure makes it easier to insert/remove or operate filters such as the polarizer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted September 10, 2017 Share #11 Posted September 10, 2017 I really wonder why anybody would want to use a ventilated shade on an EVF camera. It makes no sense, The slits are to enable the view through an optical viewfinder... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The larger ventilated shade makes it easy peasy. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leica Guy Posted September 11, 2017 Share #13 Posted September 11, 2017 (edited) With a polarizing filter it is difficult if not near impossible to rotate the polarizer with the stock lens shade. The larger ventilated shade makes it easy peasy.While it's clearly not as easy as on my Canon lenses, I don't have a difficult time rotating a polarizer on the Q with the hood in place. I just touch the edge of the filter and move it around using multiple pushes. I rather prefer the Q hood and its minimalist solution. My wife agrees even with long fingernails it's not overly difficult. Personal preference I guess. I realized that I installed the polarizer in front of a UV filter thus it is more forward and probably a bit easier to touch and move. I am concerned about IQ reduction using stacked filters. FYI.

DandA Posted September 11, 2017 Share #14 Posted September 11, 2017 Reynolds, Overgaards's hood for the Q looks good. Thx for posting the images. From the time of order, how long did it take you to receive it? Thanks. Dave (D&A) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
reynoldsyoung Posted September 13, 2017 Share #15 Posted September 13, 2017 As I recall, Dave, just a couple of weeks. Surprisingly fast. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DandA Posted September 13, 2017 Share #16 Posted September 13, 2017 Yes that is fast! Well if you desire thr spiffy red color vented hood that he offers,that would match your bright red hand strap, let me know prior to my ordering a black one and I'll purchase your used black one and cap. My strap currently is black. Can easily meet you at the same local Starbucks we met last time (some time ago). Dave (D&A) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
reynoldsyoung Posted September 14, 2017 Share #17 Posted September 14, 2017 Ha! Oh, you are THAT Dave! Great hearing from you. Probably stick with the black one, Dave. Order away!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DandA Posted September 14, 2017 Share #18 Posted September 14, 2017 Thanks very much for your reply Reynolds! Always good to hear from you too. Yes I'll order the black one. Your posted images really sold me on the hood. Dave (D&A) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighlandK Posted September 14, 2017 Share #20 Posted September 14, 2017 Each to his/her own, I guess. BUT on a point of practical utility rather than aesthetics, does anyone know whether the Overgaard (red or black) actually shades the lens as well as the default version? Superficially I would say not given the distance of the outer edges from the glass of the lens but that may be an optical illusion. I would also be concerned about dust entering through the ventilation slots. The default version provides a relatively dust free enclosure. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
