My Camera Gear
Every now and then I see questions on what gear I use to shoot my stuff, so here’s a list…

Leica Q3 43
If you want that iconic "Leica Look" straight out of camera without spending hours pushing sliders in Lightroom, this is the ultimate tool.
Peak Design - Capture
The absolute gold standard for active shooters who hate neck strain. This solid aluminum clip securely locks your camera directly to your backpack strap or belt, keeping it completely rigid and bounce-free while you move, yet instantly accessible with the click of a quick-release button so you never miss a shot.

JCC - 3M Protective Skin
I absolutely hate when a gorgeous matte camera finish starts picking up finger oils and turning into a shiny, greasy-looking mess. This custom, ultra-thin 3M skin is practically invisible once pasted, adding no bulk but creating the ultimate barrier against skin oils and minor surface scuffs. It is crucial for keeping your camera looking brand new and holding its resale value high for when the upgrade itch inevitably hits.
JCC - Thumb grip
For a fraction of the cost of the official Leica accessory, this metal grip from JJC gives you the exact same premium, solid feel. It slides right into the hot shoe to provide the ultimate physical leverage, balancing the camera's weight perfectly in your hand and working seamlessly alongside your half-case grip for one-handed shooting comfort.

JCC - Lens Cover
The original Leica metal lens hood and cap are incredibly precious and easily scratched. To save myself from constantly "looking over my shoulder" on photowalks, I swapped them out for this metal replacement from JJC. It features premium metal construction, gives you the exact same satisfying "suction" feeling when pulling it on and off, and lets you take the beating so your original stays pristine in the box.

JCC - UV Filter
If you put a standard thick UV filter on the Q3, the physical extension of the lens in Macro Mode will hit your lens hood and completely lock up the camera's mechanics. The NiSi UV filter is a genius, ultra-thin profile design that screws directly into the inner lens threads instead of sitting awkwardly on top. It is sleek, completely safe, and ensures you never get a macro focus error again.
JCC - UV Filter
The perfect match of luxury design and functional protection. I searched for days for a case that wasn't too bulky or cheap-looking, and this minimalist, premium Leather case matches the grey tones of the camera beautifully. Most importantly, it features precision cut-outs, meaning you don't have to unscrew the case just to swap batteries, change SD cards, or plug in a USB-C cable.
Peak Design - Foam Rope
The ultimate connection system for keeping your high-end camera secure and close at hand. These minimal, rugged straps feature Peak Design's legendary, quick-disconnect Anchor Links, allowing you to swap from a full neck strap to a low-profile wrist cuff in seconds without fumbling with awkward metal rings.
JCC - Screen Protector
Unless Leica starts offering free screen replacements (which they won't!), a screen protector is completely mandatory. This dual set covers both your main tilt LCD screen and your electronic viewfinder eyepiece without introducing annoying glare, losing touch sensitivity, or sacrificing display contrast. It is cheap, easy to apply, and offers total peace of mind.
