Advertisement Posted May 15, 2021 Posted May 15, 2021 Hi jaapv, Take a look here Overgaard Lens Shade Not Received. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Giguchan Posted May 18, 2021 Share #22 Posted May 18, 2021 Yeah, It takes a long time... his shipping isn't the quickest. it also take a 100 years for them to tell you that "something" isn't in stock. Did you order a lot of shades? sounds like it. I was thinking of ordering another one but i think it won't be here for Christmas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered mine shortly after the Q2 was released. It took several months to receive and the seller provides no communication after the order is placed. I emailed Adam several times during the wait, and he responded, but could offer no specific information on my order. I am quite happy with the lens shade, but quite unimpressed with the service.

Jaymz Posted May 21, 2021 Share #24 Posted May 21, 2021 This self proclaim guru gets the Chinese to make him a $10 lens guard, charges people hundreds and then fails to deliver! Thats what happens when it all goes to your head. I personally ordered, got no delivery, cancelled, cancelled directly with my credit card and decided way back never to acknowledge the guy again. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
T25UFO Posted May 21, 2021 Share #25 Posted May 21, 2021 Just in the interest of balance . . . I ordered two lens shades at different times and in both cases delivery (to the UK) was just over a week. Maybe I was lucky. Quality is excellent. I use mainly on the Q2M because it makes changing filters (often use yellow and orange) very easy. With the standard Leica lens hood you have to remove it every time. Is the product over-priced? Market forces will decide, but if the product sells then the price is probably right. No point in complaining about the price - if you think it's a rip off then just exercise your goddam right not to buy! I like the look of his leather luggage and I'm sure the quality is superb (you're really paying for Matteo Perin, not Overgaard) but too expensive for me so I don't buy. Simples 🙁 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what i figured.. Chinese product we've all been there. Funny, I had a custom ADM case made. it was made shipped from Korea and arrived here faster than the Lens shade.

Simples 🙁 You were very lucky. The only reason i am not screaming and making a fuss about the price IS because of the quality of the Lens shade- the shipping is another story. I agree with you. Like you, I like to change Filters frequently. This Shade allows me to do that in pretty quick time. When i do get the time to shoot. I am in no hurry. The Leica Hood -while very cool and different with it's square design is pretty annoying to manipulate in the field. BTW who's Matteo Perin? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very high quality, very expensive. Leather goods on a par with Hermès and similarly priced. Overgaard's leather luggage is made by Matteo Perin in Italy and he just adds his "Always Wear A Camera" label. Great if you can afford it; sadly, I can't.

Giguchan Posted August 27, 2021 Share #31 Posted August 27, 2021 It takes a while.. When i ordered the black one it was like a Month before they told me it was "out of stock" The Red one was in stock though🙄 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianforber Posted August 27, 2021 Share #32 Posted August 27, 2021 I fancy one of these shades but all these reports of delays are putting me off. Just bought a cheap Haoge shade so will see how that goes. I normally use the standard Leica shade but will probably use filters more while on holiday in a few weeks so wanted one that made it easier to change filters Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a DVD once from the UK in a week. The Lens shades are worth it. I'll be in the Market once again soon for my 35/50 lenses for my MP. I just hope he has his act together. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
