BigLensCaps lens cap for Leica Q3 OEM square hood

BigLensCaps lens cap for Leica Q3 OEM Square Hood, precise protection without fiddling around

Sometimes it’s the smallest parts on a camera that make the biggest difference in everyday use. The BigLensCaps lens cap for the Leica Q3 and Leica Q3 43 falls exactly into this category: unobtrusive, extremely practical, and so perfectly tailored that after two or three uses you won’t want to be without it.

Custom-made for the Leica Q3 and Q3 43 with square lens hood

This lens cap is specifically designed for the factory-supplied square lens hood of the Leica Q3 and Leica Q3 43. Not a universal part, not a wobbly candidate, but a snap-on cap that is precisely matched to the OEM Square Hood. You simply place it on the front of the mounted lens hood, press lightly, and it’s on. Period.

The cap snaps cleanly into the original Leica lens hood so you can use the camera normally with the hood mounted and only remove the cap when it’s time to shoot. No fumbling with the filter thread, no constant screwing on and off. Just snap, pull off, shoot.

Thought-out snap-on construction for quick access

The BigLensCaps lens cap uses a snap-on system that grips directly onto the OEM Square Hood of the Leica Q3. This means you don’t need to painstakingly align the cap, but can place it on intuitively. A short press, a clearly noticeable click, done.

Removing it is just as straightforward. The semi-flexible tabs give way without bending or wearing out, so you can grip the cap securely even with cold fingers or gloves. Especially when you’re on the go and things need to move quickly, that’s worth its weight in gold.

Three-component material mix: sturdy, quiet, everyday-ready

Instead of relying on a single material, this lens cap combines three different plastics, each taking on a very specific task. That may sound technical at first, but in everyday use it makes a noticeable difference.

• Hard, strong polycarbonate for the base structure provides stability and shape retention, even when the cap is used daily.
• Soft TPU cushions contact surfaces and prevents annoying rattling against the lens hood—especially pleasant when walking or carrying it in a backpack.
• Semi-flexible tabs make attaching and removing easier without compromising the secure fit.

The result is a lens cap that is robust enough for daily use, yet still feels pleasant in the hand and doesn’t annoy you with unnecessary noise or play on the Leica Q3.

Extremely slim profile, almost disappears in your bag

The BigLensCaps lens cap is deliberately designed with an extremely slim profile. It barely adds any bulk to the Leica Q3, which is especially practical when you want to stow the camera in a tight bag, a daypack, or just quickly in your jacket.

Because the cap takes up so little space, you can also easily transport it separately—in your pants pocket, in a small compartment in your camera backpack, or together with filters and memory cards. It’s there when you need it, without getting in your way.

Carbon fiber reinforced polycarbonate for added stability

A special detail is the carbon fiber reinforced polycarbonate, which provides additional rigidity and durability. This reinforcement makes the cap more resistant to pressure, twisting, and everyday stresses that inevitably occur during transport in a camera bag.

Especially for an accessory that is constantly in your hand, repeatedly put on and taken off, and is supposed to protect the front element, this extra stability is more than just a nice bonus.

Perfect fit for the original square lens hood

The lens cap is designed so that it fits exclusively onto the factory-supplied square lens hood of the Leica Q3 or Leica Q3 43. This precise tailoring ensures a secure fit without sticking or feeling too loose.

When your Leica Q3 is out and about with the original OEM Square Hood, the BigLensCaps cap blends in seamlessly both visually and functionally. It doesn’t feel like a foreign object, but more like a sensible original accessory that should have been included from the start.

Scope of delivery: what’s included and what’s not

Important to know: the scope of delivery includes only the custom-made BigLensCaps lens cap. The square lens hood, the Leica Q3 camera itself, as well as any mounts or additional accessories are not part of the package.

So you need the original square lens hood of the Leica Q3 or Leica Q3 43 for the cap to snap into place correctly. Without this OEM Square Hood, the lens cap cannot be used.

Made in the USA, solid manufacturing with a focus on real-world use

The BigLensCaps lens cap is manufactured in the USA with a clear focus on practicality and durable materials. No over-the-top show, but a cleanly finished accessory that does exactly what it’s supposed to do: reliably protect your Leica Q3 and make everyday handling easier.

All in all, this lens cap is a small but very sensible addition to your Leica Q3 or Leica Q3 43, especially if you’re frequently on the move, often pack and unpack your camera, and simply don’t want to compromise on front element protection.
