I want to put a Black Pro Mist (1/4) on my Leica Q3 43 (due to arrive shortly).  Do I need an adapter, or will my existing Tiffen (don't knock the quality) 49mm BPM filter screw right in?  (I am aware this would prevent macros--so I assume no macros whilst this is on; nor will the regular hood work. But what about the round vented one?).  Anyone?  TY.  (I believe it should screw right on--need confirmation. TY!)

You should have no problems using your filter with or without the lens hood. I regularly use a 49mm B+W polarizer with the lens hood attached. The lens hood goes on an outer thread while your filter screws on the inner thread just like any other camera lens.

Any 49mm I have fuji x100 on mine and a 3rd Party lens hood round to use macro from amazon at £45 .

Plenty of discussion about this on the internet.  With the Q3 43, you cannot use most filters with the supplied lens hood.  It has to be ultra thin (B+W Titanium), and even those will not allow macro mode.  You can use any filters with the round hood.
