Tekiac 3D printed “Stealth Cover” for Leica Q cameras


Tekiac is selling 3D printed “Stealth Cover” for Leica Q cameras that are available in different colors:

“By the way – I think I don’t have to mention that the real purpose of a cover is fulfilled too: the protection against scratches etc. Furthermore the camera lies comfortable in your hand also during cold weather. I have a safe feeling because the grip is made until the upper edge. The temporary rattling of the original grip is eliminated too.

Rather randomly another advantage was created. Although the cover is really light (75g) the center of gravity moved to the body. Now you can place it without tilting on the lens hood. The cover is an absolute lightweight but it’s still rigid because of design and material.”

The black cover does indeed make the camera look more “stealthy”:



The cover has a nice grip, a tripod socket and an opening at the bottom – you can take the battery and memory card without removing it:

7Artisans 35mm f/2 full frame lens for Leica M-mount (rangefinder coupled) coming soon


  
A quick update on the upcoming 7Artisans 35mm f/2 full frame rangefinder coupled lens for Leica M-mount:

“7Artisans 35mm f/2 lens for Leica M Mount cameras. And unlike their 50mm f/1.1 lens, the aperture lens of the 35 f/2 will have clicks! The de-clicked aperture ring on the 50 f/1.1 lens is probably the biggest complaint I’ve heard about this lens and I did contact them while I was working on the review and suggested them to consider making a clicked version for their future M lenses. So it’s great to hear they are listening to customers!”

7Artisans lenses can be purchased at: Amazon US | Amazon UK | Amazon DE | eBay US | eBay UK.

This is the new Leica Elmarit-TL 18mm f/2.8 ASPH lens



Pictured above is the new, not yet announced Leica Elmarit-TL 18mm f/2.8 ASPH lens which is probably the lens on the front of the “Das Wesentliche” invitation I reported about yesterday.

I think we can be pretty sure that the next Leica event will be about the rumored Leica CL mirrorless camera with EVF and L-mount and at least one new TL lens (new TL lenses and adapters have been rumored for a while).
