Leica Q3 43 only
The Real Lens Hood
It protects the lens, gives you direct filter access, and lets you control polarization without putting a finger on the glass.
Use the two red tabs to adjust the CPL smoothly while your fingers stay away from the optical glass.
Open the hood for direct access to the 49mm thread—no need to remove the complete hood from the camera.
Control reflections and soften highlights with the hybrid filter already fitted inside the hood.
The included NFC lens cap connects you to setup guidance, warranty registration, and Freewell support.
See it in action
Traditional hoods turn every filter change into a small teardown. The Real Lens Hood keeps the camera ready while giving you clear, direct access to the filter.
Ready stays ready
Cap on when you move. Flip open when the light changes. Shoot when the moment arrives.
Optional 49mm add-ons
Your Real Lens Hood already includes a CPL + Black Mist 1/4 hybrid filter. Add these separately when your shooting style asks for more.

Leica Q3 43 questions, answered
No. The Real Lens Hood shown here is designed specifically for the Leica Q3 43 and is not compatible with the Leica Q3 28.
Yes. The lens hood includes a replaceable 49mm hybrid CPL and Black Mist 1/4 filter. It reduces reflections, improves contrast, and adds a softer highlight character.
Yes, but the filter must have a 49mm thread and an outer diameter no larger than 51mm. Anything wider than 51mm will not fit inside the Real Lens Hood. Freewell VND 1–5 stop, CPL, Gold Mist 1/4, and Glow Mist 1/8 filters meet this requirement and are available separately.
No. The quick-flip design opens the hood for direct filter access, so you can change a threaded filter without removing the complete hood.
