Can you now use any filter and still enable macro mode or do you still need to use thin filters?

Does the lens hood have a Haoge logo? The stock photo on Amazon shows one but I want a hood without it.

Thanks, I just ordered mine. Leica was very short sighted on this. GRRR

Is the honeymoon phase over? Do you still prefer this to the 28? Nice video.

The European Union adopted a new regulation prohibiting the inclusion of battery chargers with new camera sales. It is intended to boost sustainability. You can charge the battery in camera using the USB-c port. Not the big deal you are making it.

I own and can confirm the B & W UV 'T-Pro" filter will screw on and the hood will FULLY screw on till it clicks to finish, it is silver/grey - that's the compromise, black would of been more discrete........no macro mode though

Would the cord attachment fit through the holes in the lugs of the Q3 43 without using the handgrip? Or is the cord too thick. thanks

Your enthusiasm is infectious!

Aren't you wary that the metal rivet on the adjustable buckle could scratch the camera?

Oh cool .. yes do it !!

Cool! I like the Asian theme one the best I think. Have you seen the wall art in RiNo in Denver? Some interesting work there on many different walls. I want to do a project with graffiti and tattoos as two forms of the same artistic process.

Thank you so much for this! Where can I see your work with the Q3 43?

Thanks for your updates on this issue, mine arrived today. It's a little longer than the Leica Q3 43 version so it's just a case of how much you use the macro mode therefore would you keep the supplied version and swap to this version for macro, or not want the hassle of swapping lens hoods for a slightly smaller lens hood? Leica should have supplied both based on the price of the camera. Maybe they can do a deal with Haoge?

Thanks. Just ordered it. Should be here in a couple of weeks. I've been using a knockoff round lens hood and while it works, I don't like it as much as the square one

What a whole lot of baloney caused by a bad design (screw-on vs bayonet mount hood). The new hood is still flawed because it does not allow for adjustment of adjustable filters (polarizers and variable NDs, among others). Funny Leica flubbed this simple, yet invaluable accessory. If I were an accessory manufacturer, I would create a screw-on bayonet mount that would stay on the camera no matter whether a hood is attached or not. Of course, I would also create a hood for the bayonet that was attractive, but also included a rectangular hole on the bottom to allow a finger to adjust adjustable filters.

No thanks. To much fuss. I'm just using the thread protector. Can't imagine having to take either off to put different filters on. Also to use the Elpro e52 Close-up lens.

Dang they’re already out of stock! I will say, there’s a couple of new options coming ;)

Bought one!

The photos on their webshop show their logo on the lens hood, but if I see correctly, their logo is not shown on yours, is that right?

Thanks ordered mine

Hao Ge Two words I’ve got mine too

Mine will be here Tuesday the 26th. Thanks. The camera gets here the 25th. ;o)

I see that Haoge are now offering a square Q3 43 lens hood on Amazon that does allows filters to be fitted. I have ordered one and will let you all know if it works as described. It has a 2 week delivery time to the UK so must be shipping from China.

I like a lot of Small Rig’s stuff. But that grip is an abomination in terms of looks. My neighbor friend has one, so I guess I have to try it anyway.

post pictures of the events you take pics off

Haoge is now selling a lens hood LH-LQ43B specifically designed for Leica Q3 43. It fits perfectly on Leica Q3 43. You don't need any tape or ruberband, just screw it on, and voila... I don't know if Amazon has this in their stock. I bought it from Taobao China two weeks ago.

Like your attude, useful information. Poor audio volume was hard to hear. Sounded like you used your camera's built-in mike, can't do that.

I have the ThinkTank Mirrorless Mover 10 bag that fits the Q3/Q343 with grip up, but very securely with also room for batteries and cards. I have the Match cap and love it. I use the RRS L-bracket grip with QD port, great ergo and arca-swiss. Then I use a black rapid modified wrist strap with a QD connector on it, or a strap with QD. Also have the thumb grip from Amazon for $99. Even has Leica imprints on it.

If you’re just looking for a small bag for transport, give the Wotancraft Portable Camera Pouch L a try. It’s perfect for the Q, and you can also attach a strap to use it as a sling ;)

Squarehood has released a hood for the Q343 which doesn't have the filter issue.

Great stuff, totally with you on the lens hood setup. Ask for camera bags, you might like the Bellroy Venture Sling 10L Camera Edition.

I love the name SMALLRIG that is written downstairs

I decided to order the round lens hood from JJC so that I can use a cpl filter, initially I was using a 49mm pinch fit lens cap but have found that a 67mm pinch fit cap fits perfectly on the front of the circular hood. In my opinion it looks better and is easier to remove when you are taking shots.

Excellent! Works great👍

looks good, only issue is that the top comes in chrome colour rather than black

so I didnt get the Haoge cause it was taking to long to get to me so I picked up the akirood version and boom it fit perfectly with the filter you have on the lens macro works flawlessly. i did not have to put tape on the edges I used the red ruberband that came with my fuji x100vi I got two extras and boom it sealed perfectly on point thanks for the video

I took my original Leica Q3 hood off the camera and put it in the box to never use again and keep it looking brand new(increased value if I sell, but I probably won't so my heirs will get the value.) My Haoge knockoff is going to save me more than I PAID for it. So get a second Haoge for your Q3 43 so you can put both the Leica originals away, and they will stay pristine. I also did this with the lens cap so that the stuff that tends to take a hit is not used and stays perfect and the cheap knockoffs can get scuffed up.

Use a Peak Design anchor. I have a nice leather wrist strap from Wotancraft.

Thumbs up to you. Just to show the Leica engineers that take their pants off to fart for an over-engineered POS. I can say that coming from using the old Leica film M cameras and have never seen such inept design before from Leica.

Soon everything about Leica is a La Carte. No charger, no lens hood, no lens cover, no straps.....and the filters that won't fit......and laughing all the way to the bank.

I went with the Peak Design wrist strap. Same thing - great quality and the wider strap slides and secures my wrist. I can go on long walks and never worry about it and comfortable. Just another great option.

А чим ви чистите скло обʼєктива? дякую

Been using their neck strap for the past of 10 years…the quality were awesome till now..will try their Acam soon. Thanks for the review 👍

My Nitecore charger, that I used for my Leica SL charges the Q343 batteries fine.

Can you post link

Ali express sells a q2/q3 charger usb c single or dual battery, about $15 and $20 ish each, work perfectly. The single for some reason has only micro usb charging and dual has usb micro+ usb c ports and i don't know why

I never used the Leica hood with my Q, i used a ventilated shade. Moved it to my Q343 works fine.

Thanks for the suggestion. The real problem is not the size of the lens hood on the 43, it's the fact it's designed differently (the hood actually comes in at the sides so blocks the lens from moving forward).

You can actually hold the camera using 2 hands you know? One to support the lens. 🙂

So I went on Amazon the hoag says it will not work with q3 43
