IJGRAY Posted May 27, 2022 Share #1 Posted May 27, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) Can anyone recommend a good hard screen protector for the Leica SL2. I don’t like the flexible type because I want more protection for the glass if I happen to drop the camera. However I have found that when I try to match the actual specified width I can not find one that fits perfectly. Some are a bit short in width and leave some of the glass unprotected. Others are a fraction to wide, perhaps a millimetre or so and when placed on the glass one edge sits on the rim of the frame and prevents an air type seal. There must be a manufacturer out there who has got the right one for the SL2. Can anyone help ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The picture in the B&H ad is wrong, the screen protector's made of glass & is not flexible. It's worked very well for me as I've dragged my SL2 & SL2-S all over Africa on safaris. I've banged the rear screen many times & the screen protector's taken the knocks & resultant cracks. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I took the advice and bought the Expert field screen protector and low and behold it IS just a flexible film again and not the stiff protective screen. Annother few quid down the bloody drain.
