Hi, went through the same nightmare a couple of years ago on my Q. Sent it to Leica service and they have replaced the internal viewfinder. they made me pay some 300 euros since the warranty was just expired after 2 years (too bas). Haven't had any problem ever since. It seems to be a common issue on some Qs. Hope this helps

You're right, my bad. I was mixing up things with firmware update on my other Leica Q 🙃

The idea of going through the cumbersome procedure needed anytime a firmware update is done to keep the sequential file numbering makes me puzzled, specially if no relevant or significant improvement is in sight for my "vintage" M10

Hope it is not, that would be the fastest planned obsolescence case of a eur 7.000 piece of technology..... 🤔

Morimondo Abbey (Milan, Italy) CL 18-56 at 18 1/400 f/4.0 ISO 100

I went through the same nightmare unfortunately, good luck

Love the CL and the surprisingly good Vario-Elmar-TL 18-56 (here shot at 56mm, 1/800, f/5.6) Miami magic does the rest

Thank you all for your comments, I'll give a try to this Haoge 67mm, quite inexpensive compared to the Thorsten's ventilated, but much smaller and unobtrusive (or whatever you want to call it...) than the original Leica12429 hood https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00M59O6UE/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Cheers !

Just got an almost mint, pre-loved TL-35 Summilux for my CL and was wondering whether is there any lens hood alternative to the original 12429 one that you would suggest (meaning more unobtrusive, smaller). Thanks vm for your suggestions !
