liggy Posted August 13, 2022 Share #21  Posted August 13, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) I love the hood. Personally the cap seems fiddly to me so I use the Hood Hat Mini (a neoprene cover for the hood/lens). Stays on nicely. Comes off when needed and squishes into a pocket and I feel like there's a bit of bump protection inherent to the material.  https://www.glazerscamera.com/collections/all/products/hood-hat-black-mini Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikep996 Posted August 13, 2022 Share #23 Â Posted August 13, 2022 (edited) The Q2 hood is great. Â I don't carry/use lens caps when out shooting so no opinion on that. Edited August 13, 2022 by Mikep996 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you get the XX Small or the X Small? And are you still happy with it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camaro5 Posted June 15, 2023 Share #25  Posted June 15, 2023 (edited) I just looked and it doesn't have the size on the label but to fit over the Q2 lens hood get the one that fits the 2 1/2 inch diameter. It's been a while since I got them. I have them for all my lenses and are the only things I use. The original Leica lens caps all get stored away. After a while the Lens Coat Hoodies will form to the lens (or metal hood) making them easy to get on and off. They're also a lot cheaper to replace if you lose one vs. getting a Leica replacement and they protect the lens better.  Edited June 15, 2023 by Camaro5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a clear filter on and never (ever) use the lens cap. This is exactly what I do Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
