MikeD70 Posted June 30, 2023 Share #1 Posted June 30, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) Forgive me if this is covered elsewhere, I looked but couldn't find anything. I am wondering if anyone has used/installed one of these before? Leica Q3 Protection Skin Cover Wrap (alphagvrd.com) I ordered one for my new Q3, the video makes it look easy to install, but don't they always! I found various levels of brassing on my Q and Q2 when it came time to find them new homes, and this looks like it just might be the answer. Thoughts? Experience, good or bad?? Thanks. Happy shooting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted June 30, 2023 Posted June 30, 2023 Hi MikeD70, Take a look here Q protective skins. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
IanrM Posted June 30, 2023 Share #2 Posted June 30, 2023 (edited) Looks easy, as you say; also looks like a good protective idea. You can also fit as little or as much as you like. I have seen another similar item somewhere but can't remember who makes it Edited June 30, 2023 by IanrM Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcgarner Posted June 30, 2023 Share #3 Posted June 30, 2023 Remember too that many of us love brassing. I'd never dream of trying to prevent it on a Q. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
prk60091 Posted June 30, 2023 Share #4 Posted June 30, 2023 I thought that brassing was impossible on the Q (and Q2/3)-no brass. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My last on started showing the metal on the edges after about a year. I have to confess, I do like the green skin though. I ordered it, so, if I get through the installation I'll post an update.

liggy Posted July 1, 2023 Share #7 Posted July 1, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) I use the skins on a bunch of my Sony lenses and bodies. They are fun and do offer some cosmetic protection at the same time. I suppose if I had a non-Reporter I would consider one for the Q2 but the finish/kevlar is literally a strong reason I went with the Reporter. No case/half case or skins for the Reporter for sure.

nariza7 Posted July 1, 2023 Share #8 Posted July 1, 2023 I use a skin on all my sonys. Just purchased one for the Q3 with July4th sale. My reasoning is to make them look less expensive so it doesn't stand out as much Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil75 Posted July 1, 2023 Share #9 Posted July 1, 2023 For protection I use for my other cameras a half case and simple, cheap black linen tape. Does the job as well, no need to spend 50, 60 bucks on adhesive tapes that even do not protect the edges well. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the highest grade U-line branded bubble wrap for my non-existent kid. For the non-existent dog, I prefer brown paper wrap. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
