Natascha N Posted July 6, 2023 Share #1 Posted July 6, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) I just got my Q3 and after unscrewing the lens cap, I can screw on the lens ring, but then the cover doesn’t fit. Why the ring? Seems exposed and vulnerable carrying around a camera without its cover. Your constructive comments are greatly appreciated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you've discovered, the lens cap only fits if the lens hood is also fitted. If you don't want to use the lens hood then you fit the cosmetic ring to protect the threads, but you'll then need to buy a traditional lens cap if you want to cover the lens. Leica sell an expensive one, or you can buy them online for much less. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aha63 Posted July 8, 2023 Share #3 Posted July 8, 2023 I am also a new q owner but q2m but this goes for all qs, why would I not use the hood? Can only think of reducing size a small bit... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingo Posted July 13, 2023 Share #4 Posted July 13, 2023 (edited) Since my first Q (116) I'm using an optech-usa Hood Hat Mini for my Q's. Works with hood and without. Welcome, dear visitor!

How you find yourself using the micro clucth from PD with the Q3? It's perfectly fitting to the base? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it's a 'one fits all' solution, not tailor made for the Q. Have a look here for some photos. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
