GoldenBB Posted August 2, 2018 Share #1 Posted August 2, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have recently acquired a new Leica Q (with a B+W UV filter). I wanted to share with you the list of accessories that I have purchased, after careful evaluation of my needs and what is available. I am curious as to what everybody else is thinking and using! 1. Bag: I was looking for a small bag to carry my A around, with an adventurer look. I therefore got the Billingham 72 camera bag: https://billingham.co.uk/collections/camera-bags/products/72?variant=9459276054571 2. Strap: I actually most of the time carry my camera in hand so I wanted a robust wrist strap. I got this beautiful leather strap from Hardgraft: https://www.hardgraft.com/products/slide-classic 3. Hood hat/Lens cover: I am not a big fan of the hood hat that comes with the Leica. I went for the OpTech Mini: https://optechusa.com/hood-hat.html 4. Battery: for my extra battery, I went with the Sigma BP-51 5. Battery charger: I was looking for a smaller charger that could charge with USB. I pre-ordered the Nitecore NITULQ: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Nitecore-nitulq-Charger-Display-Leica/dp/B0772KJ35V 6. SD card: I finally I went with the Sandisk Extreme Pro 128Go UHS-I U3. I hope this is somewhat useful! Ben 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

antigallican Posted August 3, 2018 Share #2 Posted August 3, 2018 Very similar to mine, except I have an old Hadley bag. But op-tech, wrist strap (Leicatime is mine), chilli battery...one difference is I bought the Leica sf40 flash. Makes a big difference in sunlight 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes a big difference in sunlight What I love about the op-tech is that it can go over the lens hood. Better be safe than sorry! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramosa Posted August 4, 2018 Share #4 Posted August 4, 2018 I have that same bag in black FibreNyte. It has been ideal for the Q plus a few spare cards and batteries. I use one of two wrist straps, one by Harry Benz and one by Artist & Artisan. I use the normal Leica hood, batteries, and charger. Lots of good options in all of these regards. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

giuliomagnifico Posted August 9, 2018 Share #9 Posted August 9, 2018 No no absolutely it has a very good and comfortable price, I think about 50€, don’t remember exactly, just send an email to the maker from the Tekiac website and ask it 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it difficult to put back the optech with one hand (since I use the wrist strap on one hand, I usually put back the lense cover with one hand). Thank you!!

phantom Posted August 28, 2018 Share #15 Posted August 28, 2018 I have a question to ask: the flash sf20 is compatible with leica Q thanks !! I have a question to ask: the flash sf20 is compatible with leica Q THANKS A GREETING 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leica Guy Posted August 28, 2018 Share #16 Posted August 28, 2018 Yes. The SF-20 is compatible with the Q. I had one and it worked as expected. I didn’t especially like it. AAA batteries are not enough juice. I switched to the SF-40 and am much happier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantom Posted August 29, 2018 Share #17 Posted August 29, 2018 grazie per la risposta momentaneamente mi devo accontentare del sf20 . sf40 sarà la mia prossima spesa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
