frogfish Posted February 28, 2017 Share #1 Posted February 28, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi guys, thinking about getting the Q for wedding work. Anyone have issues with the scratch-resistance of the EVF? It looks very little protected. I saw this video and at 2.30 min you see a heavily (!) scratched EVF. Or maybe it´s just dirt? Don´t know. So what is your experience there? Thank you, Heiko Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, Heiko It does not look like scratches to me, but smudges from someone putting the finger or facial oil on it. It's NEVER been an issue on my camera and I don't remember anyone on the forum making a big issue of it. I keep a microfiber cloth and clean the EVF just like I clean the rear LCD. I do have a Leica protective glass over the LCD. I've never seen the need to do that with the EVF. Good luck deciding. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickyW Posted February 28, 2017 Share #3 Posted February 28, 2017 I think the smudges you refer to were just that, smudges ... they covered an area in one errr mmm well 'smudge', I don't think a scratch would. I agree with Infiniumguy above, probably finger marks etc. Mine gets the same marks on but always cleans up nicely. Go for it ... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zakzavada Posted March 1, 2017 Share #4 Posted March 1, 2017 I use my Q for wedding work and I've never had a problem with it. I do my best to keep everything safe but I do not consider myself delicate with my equipment. I'm not sure if it is related to heavy use but I did have to send my Q in to repair a looseness inside the lens assembly. Hi guys, thinking about getting the Q for wedding work.

beez Posted March 4, 2017 Share #5 Posted March 4, 2017 From March of 2015 to Nov. of 2016, I covered the US presidential election for my agency, Polaris Images, constantly out on the campaign trail, with all the various candidates. I got the Q in October of '15 and used it for 13 months for this kind of coverage, and have no scratches on the EVF cover. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
