Maryceleste Posted April 10, 2018 Share #1 Posted April 10, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello, One of the strap lugs (the attachment points for the camera strap) on my Q has come loose. It seems the screw securing it from the inside has fallen out and the lug is barely hanging on. I have contemplated trying to open the camera to tighten the screw but I cannot find any construction schematics anywhere to help me in that process. I am afraid to disassemble it in the dark, so to speak. It would suck having to send it to Leica in Germany for several months only to tighten a screw. I was hoping anyone here might have some input, or an idea on where to find disassembly instructions? Cheers, Mary Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuny Posted April 10, 2018 Share #2 Posted April 10, 2018 Though I've not tried going into my Q, maybe Camera Nordic in Gothenburg can help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 11, 2018 Share #3 Posted April 11, 2018 I'm pretty hands-on, but that is one thing I wouldn't do. Best bet is to go through a Leica service center. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryceleste Posted April 13, 2018 Author Share #4 Posted April 13, 2018 Thanks for the advice. I'll check with the place in Gothenburg and if that does not work I guess it goes to Germany. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbealnz Posted April 13, 2018 Share #5 Posted April 13, 2018 I think even if you are competent, it is something Leica should (and I am almost certain WILL) rectify. To open it up, and balls it up, is just asking for trouble. Gary Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotografr Posted April 13, 2018 Share #6 Posted April 13, 2018 I wish Leica would get rid of that lug design and incorporate the same system used for the SL. It seems much more secure to me and makes attaching straps a great deal easier. Welcome, dear visitor!
