1. Leica D-Lux 7 Handgrip

The best of the Leica D-Lux 7 accessories

One of the best Leica D-Lux 7 accessories you can get is the grip
Reasons to buyCons
+ Enhances ergonomics
+ Secure grip
+ Holds camera steady
– No screw for the Leica loop
– No compatible case
– Blocks battery compartment

Let’s face it, Leicas tend to be flat in the front, that is why the top recommendation for our Leica d-lux 7 accessories list is the grip. This is specially fitted for the D-Lux7 and it looks stunning. It’s a bit short on the front so that you can rest your thumb when you are not ready to shoot.

This unfortunately does not have the screw for the Leica loop, but the grip is satisfying enough that you know your camera is safe at all times. Once you put it on the camera, you’ll have to remove it to get access to the battery compartment and there are no compatible cases that support it.

But getting in on or off is a simple matter of twisting the large screw on the bottom and it’s off in a matter of seconds. This grip really makes the D-Lux 7 even better to hold. Not only it makes the camera generally better to shoot, since you have a more secure grip it allows you to shoot steadily even at slower shutter speeds, so that you can get your images sharp and not blurry.

2. Leica D-Lux 7 case

This fitted case offers full protection

Reasons to buyCons
+ Beautiful design
+ 3 colors available
+ Full protection
– Camera must be removed to shoot
– No belt loop

This beautiful leather case (comes in black, red or brown) (I’m team #black) offers complete protection to your D-Lux so it earns it’s place as one of the top Leica D-Lux 7 accessories. Since this is a case, you will have to remove the camera completely in order to shoot, but the good news is, slipping the camera in and out is a joy because this is a fitted case.

It is made specifically for the D-Lux and all you need to do is lift the flap and the hole for the lens will guide your hands as the camera slides down. This is perfect for spur of the moment photographs as you don’t need to search endlessly in a camera bag: Lift flap, take camera, shoot.

The protection here is truly complete as everything from the lens to the body is fully protected while shooting. It could have used a belt loop but this Leica D-Lux 7 accessory comes with it’s own strap. It is the perfect all-day accessory to keep your camera safe as you are out and about.

3. Leica D-Lux 7 Protector case

Leica’s own half case

Reasons to buyCons
+ Sleek
+ Access to controls
+ Better grip then vanilla camera
+ 3 available colors
– Marginal protection
– Blocks battery compartment

Half cases are one of those tradeoff Leica D-Lux 7 accessories. How so? Well you have the full case that completely protects the camera but you do not have access to it while it is in the case. Half-cases are the opposite, it only offers marginal protection, but the camera is fully in your control.

This D-Lux 7 half case is just as sleek and offers a better grip then the D-Lux 7 by itself. This blocks the battery compartment but it is easily remove with a bottom screw. It offers protection against bumps and scratches while the camera is around your neck.

It is always better to have some protection like this half case offers then the camera itself when you inadvertently hit a wall while the camera is by your side. Since the controls are not hidden, it is constant minimal protection but there is no pulling the camera in our out, simply raise it to your eye and shoot.

Just like the fitted case it comes in black, red and brown.

4. Megagear D-Lux 7 Half case

One of the better designed Leica D-Lux 7 accessories

Reasons to buyCons
+ Cheaper then Leica half case
+ Access to battery compartment
– Non Leica accessory

This is a great alternative to the Leica D-lux 7 half-case accessory. Just like the previous choice it offers marginal protection but the flip side is you have full control of the camera. Why this over the Leica version then?

First of all is the price, it’s more affordable then the Leica version but more practically it has a flap at the bottom. So unlike the half case from Leica, you have access to the battery compartment when you need it, just remove the flap and your battery. Reload and put it back.

This makes it much more convenient even if it’s not a first party accessory from Leica themselves.

5. Leica D-Lux flash case

The most unlikely Leica D-lux 7 accessories but useful

Reasons to buyCons
+ High quality and sleek
+ Useful
+ Can be attached to straps
+ Complete protection
+ Comes in 3 colors
– None

The Leica D-lux 7 has no built-in flash but it comes with a small one. It’s always bothersome to bring it along as it sometimes gets lost in the bag when you really need it. This is one of the best Leica D-Lux 7 accessories that fixes this problem.

This high quality mini bag fits the flash and offers complete protection while it is not in use. This is incredibly useful as you can attach it to your strap and always have it at your disposal if you ever need to use flash.

Others will scramble to look in their camera bags while your flash is at your fingertips. The design and material match the full fitted cased and makes a great companion for that. It comes in 3 colors: Black, red and brown.

6. Leica D-lux handstrap

The perfect stylish handstrap for the D7

Reasons to buyCons
+ Beautiful
+ High quality
+ Larger area where your hand is
– None

Since the handgrip doesn’t have a loop, you might find yourself wanting a handstrap and this is one from Leica. Yes you can use any strap you want of course but this one is the official one and is Leica branded.

Beautiful, it matches all of the previous accessories like the fitted case and has a nice etched Leica logo. It has a thicker area where your hands are for a secure feeling, and you can adjust the strap to match your hand size so that it is hard to get off your wrist.

7. Leica D-Lux auto lens cap

One of the best Leica D-Lux 7 accessories is the simplest one

Arguably one of the best Leica D-Lux 7 accessories you can get
Reasons to buyCons
+ Protects lens
+ No need to deal with a lens cap
+ Never lose a cap again
– Should have been included

While the Leica D-Lux comes with a lens cap, it is yet another thing to deal with. Where did I put this cap again? Was it in my bag or my bag pocket? This is one of the best Leica D-Lux 7 accessories because it solves the camera cap problem.

While the D-Lux 7 is in your bag, the lens is not protected. But if you add a cap, it not only is one extra thing that standing between you and the shot you just saw, but like I said above it is something that you have to remember where you left it.

This is forever a non issue with the auto lens cap. You put it on the camera and never remove it so that you never lose a cap again. The design is so that once you turn on the camera, the lens goes out and you can shoot like normal.

Once you turn off the camera, the lens retracts and the triangle design “closes” the cap, and the lens is protected once more. To be honest this should have been the cap the camera comes with, that’s how useful it is.

If you find yourself frustrated by having to keep the cap in your hands while shooting, losing it over and over, this is one of the best Leica D-Lux 7 accessories to buy.

Conclusion

I hope you have enjoyed this article about the best Leica D-Lux 7 accessories. There are a few to get, the D-Lux 7 grip being essential. You also want the Auto lens cap so that you never lose it again. Case wise the best one is the beautiful fitted case, and the mini flash case.

If you want a half case, the Leica one is good but it blocks the battery area so the alternative and cheaper Megagear half case is better, but of course you lose the Leica branding.
