Advertisement Posted March 24 Posted March 24 Hi Nivlac, Take a look here Q343 Macro Ring won’t turn. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
M Street Photographer Posted March 24 Share #2 Posted March 24 Have you mounted a filter and the backlight panel? Then it doesn't work. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you mean 'filter and lens hood'. If a filter has been fitted, and then the hood, then the lens cannot move to Macro mode. It's a design error by Leica. You can buy third party hoods that work better. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knarf Posted March 24 Share #4 Posted March 24 The macro ring on my Q2 wouldn't turn and Leica confirmed that the lens had taken a knock at some point and had to be replaced. If bought second hand then possibly damaged when you bought it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lens hood prevents you from turning the macro ring. Design error? I don’t have this problem with the Q3 28. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are third party hoods that solve the problem. I have the Haoge version. Edited August 3 by LocalHero1953 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
