Stephen.s1 Posted February 16 Share #1 Posted February 16 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) My sincere wish is that the thumb rest so many of us use Be an integral part of the top casting. Thus not filling the accessory shoe. Edited February 16 by Stephen.s1 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

erl Posted February 16 Share #2 Posted February 16 And make it a practical size. Not like the apology for a thumb rest as on the M10. I wondered why I was happier carrying my M6 or M7 than my my M10. It's because the film advance lever acts a an effective thumb rest, particularly makes carrying much more comfortable. A big issue when shooting over long periods. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdlaing Posted February 17 Share #3 Posted February 17 Thumbie. Buy the Thumbie instead of the thumb rests that fit in the hot shoe. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted February 17 Share #4 Posted February 17 The Thumbie works fine but feels less reassuring than a regular thumb rest fitting in the hot shoe of the camera or, better so, a built-in thumb rest as suggested by the OP. Especially with heavy cameras. A chrome M11 with Visoflex 2 and Summicron 50/2 DR weighs more than 1kg. One of the reasons why i would welcome an EVF-M with built-in Visoflex personally. YMMV.

They make the camera look big and bulky, almost like a DSLR. But to each his own. 8 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smogg Posted February 17 Share #8 Posted February 17 It also seems to me that Leica M is primarily about simplicity, including external simplicity. Of course, you can also attach a whistle against robbers to it if you want. 3 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Photoworks Posted February 17 Share #9 Posted February 17 his one lost all the black paint, it was on the M10, M10-R and now it is on M11 Good with heavy lenses. Welcome, dear visitor!

evikne Posted February 17 Share #11 Posted February 17 These thumb grips get in the way when not in use, getting stuck in the photo bag. The fold-out thumb rest on the M10-D was brilliant. 5 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DadDadDaddyo Posted February 19 Share #17 Posted February 19 Mm. Clothing discussion. Always important. Current state of the art: Egyptian Late Old Kingdom Mummified Crocodile Leather Safari Jacket. Pairs nicely with a Peruvian Llama Mummy Pelt Safari Hat. Only appropriate, of course, with the Leica Extinct Species Special Edition Fetal Dodo Skin covering. Anything else would be.... ... simply vulgar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

erl Posted February 19 Share #20 Posted February 19 At the risk of becoming too serious, I really do dress to suit my photography intent, for the camera I choose and also the bag, if required, that will function efficiently. Clothing with appropriate pockets, as may be required, mostly inconspicuous, and the right bag to correctly accommodate the camera gear. Of course, weather plays a part here as well.
