Cloud9 Posted March 18 Share #1 Posted March 18 Advertisement (gone after registration) I'm buying a quality polarising filter for my Q3 43 and need a hood to go with it. I noticed that B+W also do a rubber lens hood (49mm). Has anybody fitted the Leica thread protection ring and used a filter + hood, both 49mm? Is there a downside? I do use the original supplied hood with a thin B+W UV for protection with is great when that's all that is needed. The stock lens hood also fits a larger external thread rather than my suggested 49mm internal thread. Just wondering if anybody has tried this approach. Most discussion seems to focus on LARGER hoods. Thanks, Sean Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_tribble Posted March 19 Share #2 Posted March 19 I'd not bother - get one of these: https://haogefoto.com/products/haoge-metal-square-lens-hood-for-leica-q3-43-q3-43-camera-accessories-black-lh-lq43b You can get one through Amazon. It's an excellent piece of kit and indistinguishable from the Leica hood... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud9 Posted March 19 Author Share #3 Posted March 19 If I do go for an external screw fit hood, it would need to be one that lets me add and adjust a filter without being removed. I tried the Haoge hood and it just lets you use Macro with a UV filter. Not sure it would even work for a polariser. I certainly wouldn't be able to adjust it. Anyway, it wasn't for me, not enough room. I suppose the circular filters might. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snow Monkey Ambassador Posted March 19 Share #4 Posted March 19 I have a Polar Pro lens hood that folds down for use with a CPL. Very well built and works well. https://www.polarpro.com/products/leica-q3-accessories?srsltid=AfmBOoo80PqVtTZAPiYXe8YCS986vS7agF-Pkwm7Hywe0qKQdgKw1HIY 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have used one from another source for several years. I use a snap-on lens cap when not taking photos. Welcome, dear visitor!
