Leica "Underdog" Accessories

 



There are plenty of accessories out there for your Leica. Some are obvious like an SD card or a carrying strap, but over the years, we’ve found a few unsung heroes that make a big difference in both shooting and workflow. Here are some of our staff’s favorite “underdog” accessories.

Artisan & Artist* ACAM 1000 Canvas Camera Bag

$229

Out of Stock

"Lovingly nicknamed “The Clown Car Bag,” this unassuming shoulder bag is full of surprises. Its roomy main compartment easily fits two M bodies with lenses attached, while the front pocket can hold up to three additional lenses — seemingly defying logic with how much gear it can carry."
- Kirsten Vignes

Leica M-Adapter-L, Silver

$480

Out of Stock

"I prefer the silver variation of this adapter because it makes it easy and fast to see if I have an adapter attached to one of my M lenses. It’s also a lot easier to spot inside the dark corners of my camera bag."
- Josh Lehrer

Peak Design Capture Camera Clip v3 (Black)

$79.95

In Stock

"The ultimate solution for those who enjoy hiking but hate having a camera bouncing around on a neck strap while they walk. The Peak Design Capture Clip allows you to always have a camera ready while you’re in the great outdoors, and fits in perfectly with Peak Design's ecosystem of straps, tripods, and other accessories."
- Colin McKinley

Lexar Professional CFexpress Type B & SD USB 3.2 Gen2 Reader

$64.99

Out of Stock

"Small but mighty, this dual-slot reader has become a staple in my kit. It quickly transfers high-resolution photos and video from my CFexpress Type B and SD cards using USB 3.2 Gen 2, which saves me so much time when I’m on the move. Its sleek, travel-friendly design fits easily into my camera bag, and the sturdy metal housing gives me confidence that it can handle wherever I take it. With my Leica SL3, it keeps my workflow fast and hassle-free, letting me focus on shooting rather than waiting on transfers."

Leica Multifunctional Handgrip HG-SCL7 for SL3

$1,170

In Stock

"If I'm going out for a long day of SL photography, this is a surprisingly useful accessory. Instead of keeping a spare battery in my pocket or a bag, I can have it already in the camera, ready to go. And the controls on the grip make shooting vertical far easier, especially with larger lenses."
- Josh Lehrer

Leica USB-C Dual Battery Charger BC-SCL6

$265

In Stock

"After a serious day of photography, it’s important to make sure your batteries are fully charged for the next day. Simply pop two batteries in the dual charger before you go to bed, and both will be charged and ready to go in the morning!" - Colin McKinley

Having a secure and accessible tripod solution capable of supporting an SL3-S with a 24-90mm, that doesn't require me to hire an assistant to carry it around, is wonderful."
- Brandon Woods

Leofoto LX-225CT Urban Series Travel Tripod with XB-32Q Ball Head

$299

"Compact, sturdy, and ready for adventure, this lightweight carbon fiber tripod is my go-to travel companion for the Leica SL3. Despite its small size, it feels rock-solid under the camera and lets me frame shots exactly how I want. The Arca-compatible XB-32Q ball head makes it easy to switch between landscape and vertical orientations when using a compatible L-bracket, with independent panning adjustments for precise control. The five-section legs extend effortlessly for quick setup, and it folds down small enough to slip neatly into a carry-on or camera bag. Whether I’m shooting in the city or out in nature, the LX-225CT gives me stable, dependable support wherever I go."

Made of durable, yet soft black rubber, the LC-SR-01 offers solid protection with a nice, snug fit, whether you’re using the Q3 with or without the screw-on lens shade. It feels secure, stays put, and works better than the original metal cap.”
- David Farkas

Leica Sofort 2, White

$399

In Stock

"If you travel with your Leica and love to create pictures of people, the Sofort is an incredible addition to your kit. What better way to connect with your subject and thank them for their picture then to hand them a print! Back in the day, we used to ask for an email (if they had one) and promise to send a jpg or a print. Now, you can do it in the moment either by using the Sofort to take the picture, or to use it as a printer to create a picture from your M, SL, Q, etc."
- Peter Dooling

In Stock

"This is the “desert island” filter for Landscape photographers – if you can only take one filter on a landscape trip, this is the one! Perfect for smoothing out water in reflections or waterfalls, and making the sky “pop” with a little bit of polarization."
- Colin McKinley

"Cinestill's daylight balanced 35mm films offer a great film stock at a competitive price, producing images with warm tones and wonderfully saturated, yet natural colors. Not only are the colors great, but these films have character, with overexposed highlights exhibiting a soft glow and red halation similar to films used in traditional cinema."
- Brandon Woods

With a 16inch laptop and a camera in my bag every day, this shoulder pad is a must to offload the weight."

- Peter Dooling

Leica E39 Orange Filter

$150

In Stock

"Color filters are a powerful way to add depth and drama to your Monochrom images. By letting certain colors of light pass through while blocking others, they change how the gray tones appear, which is something that can’t be fully replicated with digital editing. Using a filter lightens its own color and darkens its opposite, helping you shape mood and contrast in your images. Yellow filters are great for landscapes, darkening blue skies and brightening greens; orange filters offer a softer, balanced look for portraits (and even darker blue skies) and green filters make foliage appear brighter and more vivid."
- Peter Dooling
