jbripley Posted April 9, 2019 Share #26 Posted April 9, 2019 (edited) Nevermind, already answered that it covers the small back button. Edited April 9, 2019 by jbripley Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitalstew Posted April 16, 2019 Share #27 Posted April 16, 2019 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) FYI, Match Technical now has a new Thumbs Up for the Q2, model EP-LQ2. Doesn’t cover the back button. Popflash says end of April for shipping. I imagine others (B&H, etc.) will have same shipping window. Standard Thumbs Up price, $130.88.

Nicely designed...it looks like Leica design covers up the diopter and crop buttons. The Thumbs Up looks much better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitalstew Posted April 16, 2019 Share #29 Posted April 16, 2019 (edited) The Leica grip adds a button in it to push the frame lines button, but ignores the diopter adjustment. I guess they figure you don’t change the diopter adjustment enough to worry about it. I do like the Thumbs Up one better, though.

For 45.00 (I offered 40... countered at 45), I'll take a shot. https://www.ebay.com/itm/273787548006?_trksid=p2047675.m570.l6346&_trkparms=gh1g%3DI273787548006.N101.S1&autorefresh=true I received mine today from this supplier and can just access all of both buttons on my Q2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nariza7 Posted April 18, 2019 Share #32 Posted April 18, 2019 It seems the the thumbs up one has the thumb grip more to the left while the leica one keeps the original indentation before having the grip kick in. Wonder which one feels better Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NRKstudio Posted April 18, 2019 Share #35 Posted April 18, 2019 On 4/3/2019 at 6:45 PM, digitalstew said: FYI, the FOTOMIX model (on eBay) is made from aluminum and not brass like the Leica/Thumbs Up models. While aluminum will have an advantage of being lighter (and cheaper), it may bend or break more easily under stress than the brass models. And, of course, it won't be subject to brassing, if you like that kind of thing. 🙂 Hopefully it’ll have the advantage of being softer metal and it won’t marr the hot shoe, I also ordered the fotomix thumbs up. Has anyone seen a thumbs up with a cold shoe built onto it? I want to mount the CV 28mm finder (and use the Q2 on afc center point). Has anyone heard of artisanworkstation.com ? I just ordered a $150 half case to be delivered in like 1 week lead time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that doesn't matter, then yes, you can save money with the Fotomix. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
