Sho-Bud Posted January 30, 2017 Share #2 Posted January 30, 2017 Maybe it can be done under warranty. I have an X Vario, the lenscap that comes with the sunscreen is also very tight. I take it of by turning it and pulling it lightly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bernie.lcf Posted February 8, 2017 Share #3 Posted February 8, 2017 The cap will loosen up over time. Usually the problem is a cap that's too loose. In any case, the rubber or velvet like material is a sticky tape thingy - you can buy replacement, or of course get it replaced by Service Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DS1969 Posted February 12, 2017 Share #4 Posted February 12, 2017 Hi Bought my Leica X a month ago. I’m having trouble with a very tight lens cap and after using my camera the rubber sealing is curled and now I need to buy a new one (picture) Someone who has had this problem? br André I have the same issue with my preowned Leica X that I bought the other month. I looked into resolving the tape inside, and this can be done by Leica. However the previous owner of mine had included an X Vario lens hood - yes its black and doesn't look brilliant on the camera, but on the positives it screws into the 43mm thread, and means you cannot use the lens cap - it does comes with its own lens cap, hood cover. I have totally changed over to this, and put my lens cap back in the box for storage - after all I am more interested in taking shots with the camera, than what it looks like.. - Just my view - and possibly the cheapest way to resolve this issue, which I feel will repeat if you have it fixed.

DS1969 Posted February 14, 2017 Share #5 Posted February 14, 2017 Hi - This is what the X113 looks like with the X Vario hood on the lens - not ideal, but saves me having to solve the tape issue in the Leica lens cap, which I have put away in the box for now. I have used this set up yesterday on a nice sunny day, doing both street and other photography and it was fine, in fact if I am honest I preferred it. The strap is the Kolomboi from Tie her up Straps. Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!
