Looks good, easy to access the battery & card, the dovetail plate works with my Arca Swiss head on my tripod. Very happy with my purchase.... Welcome, dear visitor!

Advertisement Posted December 2, 2021 Posted December 2, 2021 Hi oldsalt, Take a look here Lim's half case.... I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Jay B Posted December 2, 2021 Share #2 Posted December 2, 2021 I installed Lim's on both my Q2 & Q2M, along with my CL, from the day they were available. They've all held up quite sturdily and still look like new. The dovetail make the occasional tripod use so much easier. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astropap Posted December 7, 2021 Share #3 Posted December 7, 2021 I always get LIM cases. They fit well and the grip really helps. Hard to get the battery and SD card out though. Amy 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amy Th battery is a a bit easier, but the sd card not - use the compartment springs, meaning push the sd card a little bit as to make it lock down, and and then just let it "jump" a little bit. The battery lock spring is a bit stronger 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve had my Lim’s case for a year and am very happy with it but just wondering whether the combo would be even better with a thumb grip. Just a bit worried it will get in the way of the right-hand wheel, which I use quite a bit for exposure adjustment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsalt Posted December 7, 2021 Author Share #6 Posted December 7, 2021 The thumb grip makes the camera feel so much better in my hand, and I also use the wheel for exposure adjustment and find it O.K. The camera just feels "more secure" ..... cheers 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeorgiC Posted December 10, 2021 Share #8 Posted December 10, 2021 I hate how tall the camera becomes. It adds unnecessary bulkiness at the bottom.. why!? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It adds unnecessary bulkiness at the bottom.. why!? arca-swiss compatible dovetail - maybe could have been refined a bit, but the base palter jams still have to "bite" enough material to make it secure It's a compromise. More than the convenience of tripod mounting, I now feel less concerned placing my camera down - yes the lens will make it tilt forwards but I have an op/tech bonnet on all the time instead of a lens cap Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWood Posted December 13, 2021 Share #10 Posted December 13, 2021 I first bought the Leica case for the Q2. I was disappointed that I had to remove it to get at the card and battery. Since I'v purchased the Lim's case. It's well made and allows access to the card and battery. I will be using I from now on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave in Wales Posted January 31, 2022 Share #11 Posted January 31, 2022 I canceled my order and decided to give it a miss. The base looks like a dog's dinner IMVHO, I'm aware 'needs-must'. I decided instead on the beautiful simple Leica grip, gave up also on the thumb support as it just, got in the way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnhoj Posted February 1, 2022 Share #12 Posted February 1, 2022 I like the Lim's. Welcome, dear visitor!

travelfotographer Posted February 14, 2022 Share #13 Posted February 14, 2022 My problem with the Lim is that the screw gets loose... I have had it fall off a couple of times and now it is a big banged up. I was shooting this weekend with a bunch of Fuji X100 owners and yeah, the Q2 is bigger, but the LIM makes it even more bigger. I think I am just going to go without it to get the most compact size. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldsalt Posted February 16, 2022 Author Share #17 Posted February 16, 2022 My Lim's case fell off during a long walk, I didn't realise this had happened...and it was "lost"... so that was the end of my Lim's... now I have the RRS and it's great. cheers 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicholasT Posted May 31, 2023 Share #18 Posted May 31, 2023 (edited) LIM’s Half case was my absolute favorite case for the Q2. I particularly liked the built in grip and the discrete Arca Swiss compatible mount built into the base. Also I did not find the case to be too bulky or heavy. I’ve now sold my Q2 and its case and would really like to buy a LIM case for Q3 which is on order. Does anyone know if LIM has released a Q3 case?

I knew it was getting loose but without any coins in these post pandemic days I had nothing to tighten it with. I didn’t notice when it actually fell off but fortunately had only gone about a quarter of a mile so was able to go back and retrieve it. I now carry a coin just in case.
