skimmel Posted September 5, 2020 Share #1 Posted September 5, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) I am looking to replace my Leica thumb support with something that can move the thumb grip farther towards the edge of the camera. I find the Leica version does not extend far enough. There is the Lim's thumb grip (which I can find on ebay) and the thumbie (which I can't find anywhere). Anyone ever compared these two. Also, is there a CL version of the thumbie and, if so, why can't I find it? Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayewing Posted September 5, 2020 Share #2 Posted September 5, 2020 There is a version of the Thumbie made for the CL. Steve, who makes them sells on eBay under the name steve250gto. If you contact him specify that it is the CL version you want. He is a very helpful chap and is a member of this forum but is careful to stick to the rules and does not promote sales on the forum.

ruskkyle Posted September 5, 2020 Share #3 Posted September 5, 2020 I bought what Steve said was the last one a few months ago... Not sure if he has made up any more but definitely worth asking! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted September 5, 2020 Share #4 Posted September 5, 2020 I got mine from Steve. Very happy user. It is solid brass so the paint wears off easily. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawman Posted September 5, 2020 Share #5 Posted September 5, 2020 Steve is a great guy with a great product that leaves the accessory shoe open - highly recommended. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
skimmel Posted September 5, 2020 Author Share #6 Posted September 5, 2020 Thanks everyone. I send him a note through his ebay account. If anyone knows how to PM him, let me know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfdann Posted September 6, 2020 Share #7 Posted September 6, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) Kim’s thumb grip works perfectly for me and is well made and reasonably priced. I also have his half case which allows for battery and card access as well as tripod mount without removing case. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
skimmel Posted September 6, 2020 Author Share #8 Posted September 6, 2020 Just an updated: Unfortunately Steve is not making any more Thumbies for the Leical CL. In terms of Kim's thumb grip, does anyone know if it extends farther out than the Leica brand? Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if you can tell from this but I posted an image of my CL with the Lim's Thumbgrip attached when showing the size of the Sigma 100-400, may give you some idea. Second image.
