Let us see some pictures of that 🤠 I'm confused. Isn't Thumbs Up intended to provide support on digital cameras which doesn't have a film advance arm? What would be the function of a Thumbs Up on a film camera, other than being in the way? 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they even make one for film Ms. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayD28 Posted November 14, 2021 Share #5 Posted November 14, 2021 Not needed for my film M's but I use one on my M204 since it's thicker and doesn't fit my hand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see any comedy given most people are wise to the utterly banality of your question. Give us something to work with if you want to be a successful troll. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaidshirts Posted November 14, 2021 Share #10 Posted November 14, 2021 (edited) Trolling or not, and believe it or not, I saw an example of a film M with a thumb grip posted on a FB group. I like a good accessory as much as the next person, but I remember thinking I'd probably break the hot shoe mistakenly trying to advance the grip instead of the lever...

Sailronin Posted November 15, 2021 Share #11 Posted November 15, 2021 The film Leica don't need the "thumbs up" because there is the film advance lever, not even sure if one could be fitted on a film M. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topsy Posted November 22, 2021 Share #12 Posted November 22, 2021 I was reading an old Macfilos thread and saw a picture of an MP with a thumbs up from an M9 fitted, looks wierd. https://www.macfilos.com/2013/06/04/2013-6-4-leica-mp-new-baby-joins-camera-family/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailronin Posted November 22, 2021 Share #13 Posted November 22, 2021 Looks like it would get in the way of the film advance. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not something I would do, the Thumbs up is great on my M9s but can't see any benefit on my MP. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
coyote50 Posted November 22, 2021 Share #15 Posted November 22, 2021 I use the thumbs up on my MA and find it helps balance the camera, especially with heavier lenses. The gip lies below the film advance lever and is not in the way at all. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capuccino-Muffin Posted November 28, 2021 Share #16 Posted November 28, 2021 Well, can be excellent with a motor drice, winder, or leicavit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
