FAQs

What cameras is this lens cap compatible with?

This lens cap is designed for the Leica Q, Q2, and Q3 cameras. It is also compatible with the lens hoods included with these models.

What is the material of the lens cap?

The lens cap is made of solid brass with a blasted finish.

How do I clean the lens cap?

Clean the cap using a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For tougher marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Does this cap fit with aftermarket lens hoods?

The cap is designed to work with the lens hoods included with the Leica Q-series cameras. Compatibility with aftermarket hoods may vary.

Can this cap protect against water damage?

The cap provides protection against moisture and dust, but it is not a waterproof seal. It offers a good level of protection against environmental elements.

Is the blasted finish durable?

The blasted finish is designed to be durable and stylish. Like any finish, it can show signs of wear with extensive use, but it is generally robust for camera accessories.

Does the cap add significant weight to the camera?

Being made of brass, the cap has some weight, but it is generally considered minimal and does not significantly impact the handling of the camera.

Troubleshooting

Cap is difficult to attach or remove.

Ensure there are no obstructions on the lens or the inside of the cap. Check that you are using it with a compatible Leica Q-series camera. If using with a lens hood, ensure the hood is correctly attached.

Cap feels loose on the lens.

Verify that the cap is the correct size for your Leica Q-series lens and that it is fully seated. If the issue persists, inspect the cap and lens rim for any damage or debris.

Finish appears tarnished or scratched.

Gently clean with a soft microfiber cloth. For minor scratches, the blasted finish may help to mask them. Avoid harsh chemicals. Prolonged exposure to certain elements can naturally alter brass finishes over time.
