Yeah, that was an issue when I was new to the M. With the help of some comments in that thread the issue went away. Haven't suffered from fingers blocking viewfinder regardless of lens in many years. Still have the M 262 but did upgrade the 75 Summarit to a 75 Summicron along the way. And now I've added an M11. It's an addiction 🙂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted March 25, 2023 Posted March 25, 2023 Hi marchyman, Take a look here How do you shoot portrait orientation? Hand on top or bottom?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Tailwagger Posted March 25, 2023 Share #22 Posted March 25, 2023 As mentioned by others, I also typically focus horizontally then rotate. The one thing I'd mention is to consider adding a grip or at least a thumbs up. The shape of the M isn't ideal for portrait, having the grip makes things much easier, AFAIC. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
evikne Posted March 26, 2023 Share #23 Posted March 26, 2023 Always with my right hand on top. The only downside is that I have to turn my cap back-to-front. 😄 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, like all the bag threads throughout LUF, we really need a hat thread. What’s appropriate for an M vs an SL. Rainy days vs midday sun vs windy day hats. Can Billingham and Peak Design throw offerings into the ring? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And classic hats: the Cartier Bresson; the Ansel Adams; the Dorothea Lange; even the Lee Miller. I might go for the Fox Talbot. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Chef Posted March 27, 2023 Share #27 Posted March 27, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) Than Ansel Adams only comes in shades of white grey and black. The Fox Talbot can withstand long exposures to the sun. The Cartier Bresson is a beret - no brim so you can get closer. The Dorothea Lange comes with a detachable dust visor. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tailwagger Posted March 27, 2023 Share #28 Posted March 27, 2023 Hat thread?!? We don't have enough controversy here as it is? Left to my own devices, I go for a Renger-Patzsch, but frankly with the way this crowd can get all riled up, for safety's sake, make mine a Tom Brady or Michael Schumacher. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
