Leica Q3 43 : USED

We guarantee our baseplates for a lifetime of normal use with reasonable wear and patina. If we've made a mistake or you have an issue with our product, we'll take care of it. Email us at support@ags.supply.

Our baseplates are made of brass, a material with memory that naturally changes color with age and retains signs of handling caused by the oils on your skin. This is why we ship our baseplates in vacuum-sealed packages.

Any returned baseplates that have been previously handled will likely have to be resold at a discount as used items. For this reason, please be kind in considering a return.

We do accept good-faith returns at our discretion.

Return shipping with insurance is your responsibility. Email support@ags.supply for returns or questions.

You'll receive shipping confirmation and tracking info once your order ships.

Since we're a small studio, we can't guarantee same-day shipping of orders, but we'll do our best to get orders out as quickly as possible.

In the event that we sell out of current stock, we will accept backorders/pre-orders where possible and continue fulfilling orders as rapidly as new baseplates can be produced.

Our aim is to keep production slightly ahead of orders so that we have enough baseplates in stock without creating excess.

Contact us at support@ags.supply with any questions about product details or product availability.

For now we are only selling to a limited number of countries internationally. International orders will be handled via UPS or USPS. All shipping options and rates are calculated at checkout.

At this time, we are not collecting VAT or other international taxes at checkout.

VAT or other import duties may be due on delivery. 

We aim to produce small runs of quality products that last while minimizing excess consumption and waste. For this reason, we won't offer general discounts or sales.

Some of our blemished goods or seconds or used baseplates will be made available at a discounted rate. In the near term, these seconds will be for sale through eBay, so look for them there.

The black finish is now available for the Q2! In a similar fashion, the black version of the Q3 Baseplate will be available after orders start shipping for the standard Raw Brass version

This is a hot black oxide treatment that converts the outer layer of brass to rich black. It's then treated with a dry oil dip to seal the part and bring out the depth and finished with white painted engravings.

We love this question! We already delivered a custom spec version to a dear friend. It's a slightly modified version of our baseplate, machined in bronze and custom-engraved.

Because we design and make every baseplate ourselves, we're able to make custom items and one-offs.

If you have a special request, we would love to talk. Pricing will depend on your specific request, including material.

There has been a flattering amount of questions regarding other cameras and other camera brands.

For now, the focus is on newer Leica digital cameras. The Q3 baseplate has launched soon, with a grip version to follow, then something for the M11.

If you're looking for a baseplate for the M10 or older M film cameras, you should give KameraKraft a look.
