Leica Q - My list of accessories


Recommended Posts

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!

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

What I love about the op-tech is that it can go over the lens hood. Better be safe than sorry!

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.

Im using the Tekiac 3d printed stealth cover, and I love it! More than the original Leica grip: http://tekiac.de/leica-q-stelthcover/

May I ask the cost of the cover.

Or is it one of those "if you have to ask, you can't afford it." (attrib JP Morgan)

Everything, apart from the charger, fits in my cute little Fogg Flute Bag...

Quick question: can you put the KUVRD on with only one hand? 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!!
