cboy Posted May 23, 2020 Author Share #2 Posted May 23, 2020 They both have screw in lens ring Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guytou Posted May 23, 2020 Share #3 Posted May 23, 2020 Hello, Je ne crois pas que cela est possible. Le filetage du Leica X type 113 est de 43 mm alors que celui du Leica Q est de 49 mm. Il faudra ajouter une baque intermédiaire, ce qui n'est pas très intéressant... Guytou Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cboy Posted May 23, 2020 Author Share #4 Posted May 23, 2020 Im not talking about the filter thread which i know is different as you mention...im refering to the screw in lens ring on which attaches the square metal lens hood https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ass00nSUM0 Anyway ill come back and measure the size of the lens ring on the Leica X Hopefully someone can verify the size of the lens ring on the Leica Q...

Guytou Posted May 23, 2020 Share #5 Posted May 23, 2020 (edited) OK, je pensais effectivement au filtre. Le filetage du pare soleil du leica Q semble être 60 mm: http://www.summilux.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=94&t=93763 Guytou Edited May 23, 2020 by Guytou Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cboy Posted June 4, 2020 Author Share #6 Posted June 4, 2020 Hi all, The thread of protective ring measures at approx 57.9mm I was wondering if someone can confirm the thread size/diameter of the leica Q lens hood?

DwF Posted June 4, 2020 Share #7 Posted June 4, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) I'm curious, why not use the lens hood made for the X 113? I used my X113 without and kept the hood in my bag for conditions where it seemed necessary to prevent flare. The X 113 lens coating is really quite effective. It seems like the Q hood would add significant increase in profile to your camera. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cboy Posted June 4, 2020 Author Share #8 Posted June 4, 2020 I tried looking for the proprietary hood for lecia x 18774 but it is discontinued. The protective filter ring on mine is a bit damaged so i went looking for a replacement, however Leica Miami has only silver in stock. So i then thought about using the leica Q hood which imho looks quite nice and keeps the lens from looking too big. I use my leica x typ 113 for streetphotography so trying to keep it minimal is important i feel. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cboy Posted June 5, 2020 Author Share #9 Posted June 5, 2020 Hi all, I emailed a Leica rep as it turns out that even though the diameter of the thread is the same between the Q/Q2 and X113, the thread pitch is different, so the hood will not work. Unfortunate as I did like the Leica Q hood. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
