I recently purchased the Haoge hood for there Q3 43 and it also allows the use of a filter and macro mode.  I bought it from their website. It took 9 days to arrive from China to Seattle.  It is also for sale by the company on eBay (ships from China). It looks like the one listed by Squarehood.

The hoagie hood is finished well and lines up well on the Q3 43 and is also about 17mm long (a bit longer than the stock Q3 43 hood).  Original cap fits as does the Match Technical rubber cap (which is a bit too deep for the stock Q3 43 hood - hits the aperture ring before fully seating).

I don’t understand why anyone would buy one from squarehood while literally same one can be bought from Haoge with 1/3 of the price.

 

Because a dementia of Leica users just aren’t happy paying top price 🤪

I’ll pay too dollar for Leica cameras and lenses.  But cases, straps, hood’s…lots of good quality products reasonable prices.

I even messaged and left comments for squarehood on instagram asking why the same product is being sold at Haoge for less than 1/3 of their price. What warrants them selling literally same thing, same shape, same material, for more than the triple price?

And guess what, they blocked me. 😂

So I come here to let you guys know, Squarehood has good products but when there is a same one made by Chinese there is absolutely no reason to buy from Europeans 😄

I hate autocorrect.

In my previous post it replaced demographic with dementia.

In no way was I implying that those who are willing to pay extra for name brand have dementia

It made sense to me. Why else would someone like me else pay so much for a camera or lens?

SquareHood makes some nice stuff. Bought a SquareHood for my 35 Cron v4 and I have to say that the quality, fit and finish is superb. It’s a definite upgrade from the Leica OEM #12524 in all regards.
