TheQ2 28 Otec lens cap does not fall off. It is also sold by Leica Miami -- and cheap knock offs are available on Etsy.  Wait a little while, and I am sure a version will be available for the Q3 43.

I use the Red Dot camera cap made by them on a 3d printer. 

Am very happy with it.

I don't know if some of you are still looking for a filter for the Q3 43 where you still can use the original hood. Yesterday I got this one at the Leica Store in Stuttgart, works perfectly for me:

- B+W 007 MRC
- works perfectly with macro
- you can still use the original hood.
- delivered with a ring to install it
- price: 150 EUR.

I join a few pictures. Happy with this solution, works perfectly for me!

This is a very interesting design and I have never seen this before.

Is this filter specially designed for Q3/43? Because it seems the filter sits flush on the ring. I know the regular b+w 007 mrc or even t-pro line doesn’t work with original hood when macro is engaged

Ship to EU only. So I can’t get it 

The homepage states free worldwide shipping. Maybe you have to choose the right country, if not you can contact the support at info@tekiac.de

Hello,

We've had a lot going on this week. I'm Mateusz from Tekiac. In the last few days we were able to supply the Leica Store Stuttgart with the new lens filters for the Leica Q3 43.

Yesterday we started the Tekiac online store. But today we switched on the international order. Unfortunately we were not fast enough.

The order should now be possible. Otherwise just write us via the contact form if something should not work.

Greetings Mateusz

I just visited the Leica Store in Stuttgart and was introduced the new ultra slim Filter from Tekiac. It's really a very interesting design - we had a little bit of trouble removing the filter - but normally you won't do that often. Phantastic idea and premium glass from B+W.

Recommended.

Erik

Hello,

The easiest way to mount the filter is: First, place the camera on a table with the lens facing up. Then gently screw in the filter. Finally, use the handling tool and two fingers to gently tighten it. I hope this helps.

Here's a video showing the easiest way to do it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlXHHVjXpJE

I’m worried I would have trouble to take it off.

The tool is just one direction thread. It wouldn’t have grip to loose the filter. Correct me if I’m wrong.

I have the filter now but I don’t want to put it on yet

There's a misunderstanding. You can, of course, use the tool in both directions. To screw the filter in and out. And you can do this as often as you like.

That's the trick and the innovation of the filter. The tool doesn't need grip, but has aluminum teeth on the bottom that hook into the filter at the appropriate points.

You can easily remove and screw on the filter without using your fingernails. Don't worry, you can screw the filter in and screw it back on.

Yes I can confirm! Very easy to use.

Thank you for your feedback. We've improved our website and added more detail to the Mounting Aid. Here are more information about the tool https://tekiac.com/en/pages/how-to-use.

I hope that now the functionality is clear and you don't have to worry about using the filter.
