Will this fit a Leica Q2 Monochrom with hood attached?
Asked by: David
The OP/TECH USA Hood Hat, Mini is designed to cover interchangeable lenses with a diameter of 2.5-3.0". This would be more than sufficient for the Leica Q2 Monochrom Digital Camera: B&H # LEQ2M.

question

I have lenses for a Sony a6000. The lens diameters indicate I buy the micro size, but the hood diameters suggest the mini size. Which measurement should I go by?
Asked by: Jennifer
Since I do not have the camera, I cannot say exactly, but I think it depends on how lose you want the hat to fit. They are supposed to stretch onto the lens, so you want to buy one that is smaller than the lens diameter. But I know myself that they can be hard to put on if they are too snug and require too much stretching. But then they stay on better, of course, so it IS hard to tell. I think I'd go with the smaller one, especially if the lens is shallow - i.e. not very long. If the hat is too big and just kind of loosely holding on, it will probably be falling off if the lens isn't very long. Just MHO.

question

Thank you to the folk who answered my initial question! I guess the clarification I'm looking for is regarding the measurement stated in the item description. The measurement given is for the lens it seems, not the hood. So, for example, would the micro hood (for a LENS between 2.0 to 2.5 inches) be the right size if that lens has a 2.75 inch hood? Thank you!
Asked by: Jennifer
Yes it will fit a 2.75 diameter lens because material is elastic like that of Urethane foam wet suit for divers. I suspect that if you left hood on 2.75 lens for long-term storage, hood may no longer fit as snugly on 2.5 diameter lens. Just a theory. I use hood on Sony 10-18mm ultra wide lens which has 2.75 Diameter. Hood is well made. Good insurance. Shelly on Oct 31, 2015
