Thumbie - where to find one?

Hi David,

 

I contacted Steve directly via LUF’s private messages system. His nick name here is 250swb.

 

Two mails later, mostly regarding shipping cost to non-EU Switzerland, the Thumbie arrived inside one week.

 

Cheers,

Much obliged. Sounds mysterious.

You like Thumbie?

I love it. My first Leica was the M3, so I got used to using the film winder as support for my thumb. With the Thumbie’s, it’s even more comfortable hand-holding the M9 for longer stretches of time than the lighter M3.

 

I believe I remember one or two threads on LUF that were discussing the Thumbie, Thumbs-Up and other, similar gripping solutions. You could give the search function a swirl; I think it was in the “Digital” sub forum.

 

Cheers,

Thumbie in my future

Do you know if this device also requires a modified half case with cut out - Luigi and Zhou do it.

Thanks again.

Mornin’ David,

 

the two threads I mentioned above can be found here:

 

http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/customer-forum/152135-get-grip.html

 

http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/leica-m9-forum/168904-hand-grip-vs-thumbs-up-thing.html

 

There’s also a discussion regarding modding half-cases in one of those threads I believe.

 

Cheers,

Cool, Sascha.

Camera just arrived. I am staring at the shipping box now pregnant with M9. Just relishing the moment.

Cheers
