Carrot Posted October 13, 2024 Share #141 Posted October 13, 2024 Advertisement (gone after registration) Bought a bag of rubber o-rings on amazon for £5, outside diameter 60mm, inside diameter 55mm. Put one onto the Q3-43 hood thread and both the Q3-28 hood and Haoge square hood fit perfectly, easy to align and they don't slip around. If you get them with an inner diameter of 60mm that would probably been an even better fit. Welcome, dear visitor!

Advertisement Posted October 13, 2024 Posted October 13, 2024 Hi Carrot, Take a look here Filters for Q3 43. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
diguun Posted October 14, 2024 Share #142 Posted October 14, 2024 This is a solution shared with the online community in my country. The total diameter of the attached filter is 40 mm. It's also affordable. Anyway, a 40mm attachable filter can be attached to the inner rim of the lens. The diameter of the attachable filter is very slightly larger, making it easy to remove it later.

I’ve been looking for something similar to get rid of my tape-on-threads hack. Do you have a link to the Amazon listing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will look much better and better protect against hits than your round hood. So a lot of benefit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So a lot of benefit. For me the camera is a tool, not a piece of jewellery, and I don't really care about the look. I appreciate that some people do, though, and it's fine, but not for me, and certainly not worth an overpriced 73€ for a machined piece of metal. I have the round hood here with me, the length is the same as the square hood, so protection level is the same. The square hood may protect more from rain and other elements though, but it's never been a problem on my M and L mount lenses, so not sure why it should be a problem now. FYI, you can find metal square hoods for the Q3 28mm from Haoge for 45€, shipping included. They are well made. I'm sure they'll make one for the 43mm version soon enough, so not sure why I should spend an extra 28€ for the same thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. On a Q the vents are not particularly useful, but if you look at pictures of this hood that are not from the front, it’s about 1cm in length, I think it offers more protection than the average petal shaped hood that is so common for mirrorless lenses. At least for my use case, it comes with the additional benefit of being able to use a pinch cap, that I prefer to Leica’s push-style cap - I remember the Q2 lens cap to be kind of loose and easy to drop.

David Wien Posted October 20, 2024 Share #160 Posted October 20, 2024 (edited) 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. David Edited October 20, 2024 by David Wien 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
